How to specify the name of the Heroku app for an app pulled from github?

I'm new to Heroku and I'm working with someone on an app via github. I cloned the repo from github, but now when I run heroku commands (e.g. heroku run python) I get the following error even though I'm running it from the root of the repo:

!    No app specified.   
!    Run this command from an app folder or specify which app to use with --app APP.

What do I need to do to properly configure the app? The commands work if I pass the --app flag, but I want to avoid specifying the flag every time.

Once you've cloned the repo you need to connect the repo to your Heroku app via

heroku git:remote

(I guess you may need to use --app <name> for one last time here) which will create a heroku remote in your git config - the Heroku CLI uses this to figure out your app name moving forwards.
