What's the correct way to rename a heroku app?

Doesn't seem to be a way to do it from the command line, and when I do this from the site, I run into this issue when I try to git push heroku master:

 !  No such app as [previous app name].

Is this as simple as changing how I point to the app in git?

to rename app use:

heroku apps:rename --app <old_name> <new_name>

then, remove remote heroku:

git remote rm heroku

and add new one:

heroku git:remote -a <new_name>

and push changes:

git push heroku <branch_name>:main

If you want to rename your heroku app use: heroku apps:rename new_name

Please replace "new_name" with the name you want to give your app. make sure you do not include any "https://" because this will give you an issue. simply replace new_name with your app name

e.g heroku apps:rename grapefruitblog

After doing this, heroku requires that you update git remotes for all other local checkouts of the app. you can do this by running this command: heroku git:remote -a new_name

Again, replace new_name with the name you previously put in

e.g heroku git:remote -a grapefruitblog

If you are changing the name of the app on the webpage you should Updating Git remotes

git remote rm heroku heroku git:remote -a newname

Why use all caps?

heroku apps:rename my_new_app_name

Here is a great place to find out more:

How to rename your Heroku application

In case anyone is curious this method does not require any further configuration, your modifications should be immediate. At the time of this writing I was able to change the name of my app in seconds, and then do so again if I wished. Hope this helps.
