Autodeploy project to Heroku on each new merged commit.

Can someone without admin access to the repo deploy to heroku? If yes, then I would like to work on this.

[niccokunzmann]

There are several things involved:

1. Add a configuration which can be deployed to heroku (possible for people without write access)
2. Create a hook which deploys this to heroku (possible for people with admin right, not me)

So, you can go ahead and create a "deploy to heroku button"/a heroku configuration. If this is done, the admin has alsmost no effort, I believe, to add the hook.

I was testing the app by deploying to heroku. Link: https://badegyay.herokuapp.com/

The shell script merge_badges.sh doesn't work. It failed with error sudo command not found
Any idea how to fix this?

[niccokunzmann]

Yes, sudo is not available under heroku. The build script needs some packages installed:

You can remove this error by installing the packages before with a heroku config, if that is possible. While Heroku runs, you can not change the system too much.
Travis installs them before, as you can see in the search.

Here is a little help in case someone wants to work on this:

1. Create Aptfile like so: https://github.com/jajodiaraghav/badgeyay/blob/heroku/Aptfile
2. Create Procfile like so: https://github.com/jajodiaraghav/badgeyay/blob/heroku/Procfile
3. Add gunicorn in requirements.txt
4. Add symlink of requirements.txt in root folder
