Add a private vendor to your build via config var git url and ssh key.
Adapted from SectorLabs/heroku-buildpack-git-submodule.
-
Add the buildpack to your Heroku app:
$ heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/RasPhilCo/heroku-buildpack-private-vendor.git -i 1
Keep in mind that the buildpack order is important. If you'll specify this buildpack after your default one (e.g.
heroku/nodejs
) it'll not work. See https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/using-multiple-buildpacks-for-an-app for details. -
Set the
GIT_REPO_URL
to the SSH URL of your Git repo:$ heroku config:set [email protected]:SectorLabs/myrepo
-
Set
GIT_SSH_KEY
to the private SSH key that can access both your repo and its submodules:$ heroku config:set GIT_SSH_KEY=$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa)
