Logging in to Heroku

For using the Heroku Toolbelt, you need to log in via the command line. After this, you can start working with Heroku.

For log in, you must provide the e-mail and password used when you created your user account. If you are using Mac OS X or any Linux distribution, you will have to open a Terminal window. If you are using Windows, you must open the Command Prompt and type the following command to login:

$ heroku login
Enter your Heroku credentials.
Email: your-username@your-company.com
Password (typing will be hidden):
Authentication successful.

Heroku also needs your SSH public key as it identifies which developer is making changes in the applications. It's very simple to send your public key:

$ heroku keys:add
Found existing public key: /Users/patrickespake/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Uploading SSH public key /Users/patrickespake/.ssh/id_rsa.pub... done

Now you're able to use all the commands that the Heroku client provides.
