Checkout the karmanotes repository locally.

Create Heroku app from either the web interface or the CLI. See Heroku documentation for more information.

From the settings page for the Heroku app, find the Git URL and copy it.

Install the Heroku CLI. Make sure to configure the Heroku CLI tool with `heroku login`.

In the karmanotes repository:
`git remote add my-heroku-dev git@heroku.com:<your-project-name>.git`

Create a Heroku database either from the web interface or the CLI. Look for the Dev Plan (its free). Once created, keep track of its connection settings for the configuration step.

Configure the application by copying `${project_root}/.env.example` to `${project_root}/.env` and edit it appropriately for all external dependencies.

Push the configuration to Heroku by running the handy script. `python export_env_to_heroku.py`

Push the app to Heroku with git. `git push my-heroku-dev master`
