The sample application source code

You will deploy a sample application prepared with Ruby on Rails. This application is very simple; it just shows a welcome page and you can find it at https://github.com/patrickespake/ruby-getting-started. It's a helpful method for you to understand the main concepts about the deploy process on Heroku.

First you need to copy the sample application source code. This basically consists of executing the git clone command in your terminal if you have a user account on GitHub:

git clone git@github.com:patrickespake/ruby-getting-started.git
cd ruby-getting-started

The other alternative is downloading the source code from https://github.com/patrickespake/ruby-getting-started/archive/master.zip.
