▸    Missing required flag:

▸    See more help with --help

Can anyone help me with this.

Answer 1

You have to mention the app name against which you intend to run the command from CLI despite having a single app.

When running commands from CLI, it is advised to always mention the app name using

--app 'app-name'

against every command.

If you want to avoid doing that, you can set your heroku git remote app repo to a specific app, using the command

heroku git:remote -a 'app_name'

That should help you not having to type the app_name every time.
