Heroku not deploying from a different branch

Question

I'm trying to deploy my heroku application using a different branch from master. When I run: ``` git push heroku <mybranch> ``` Nothing happens and my application is not deployed. Does anybody know what's going on? Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Heroku apps only use the master branch (although you can push any branches you want). If you really do want to deploy another branch, you have to push it into the master branch on the heroku remote:

```
git push heroku mybranch:master
```
