github heroku master分支

Question

I am a newbie to Github except a few tutorial projects created in Github using Git Bash CLI. I downloaded a Github zip archive of a Heroku getting-started app and in my local I make some changes and I pushed that new app in to Heroku under my name as a new app. How would I keep a remote repo on Github ? I guess the push to heroku is just a deployment and its not the code repository? I dont want to loose my changes when the local hard drive crash;

This is my simple workflow: download Github Archive of Getting Started Heroku app ------> changed the app to my requirements and named it myNewApp ----------> create a heroku account and push the code ----> ???next to keep a remote repo ????

Appreciate any help. TIA.

git remote --verbose will list all of repository remotes. In your situation I guess it is a heroku repository on github.

I suggest to create a fork (at github) of Getting Started Heroku app and than clone it to your development machine so origin remote will be yours. Ref: https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/

If you already made some changes on cloned heroku repo you could create an empty github repo and than add a new remote

git remote add github remote repository URL
# Sets the new remote
git remote --verbose
# Verifies the new remote URL
git push github
# Push your changes to yours github repo
