Heroku thinks app is in same folder

I referenced this awesome thread from the following to fork my Heroku app and clone the github repo to have two seperate github repo's and Heroku app's for production and development.

Trying to heroku git:clone after heroku fork yields an empty repository 

$ git clone [email protected]:oldapp.git -o old newclonedapp
$ cd newclonedapp
$ heroku git:remote -a newclonedapp
$ git push heroku master

I then manually moved my folder newcloneapp into its own directory. Regardless, I still get the following errors:

 !    Multiple apps in folder and no app specified.
 !    Specify app with --app APP.

How can I fix this ?

As the error message says, include --app newcloneapp in the command you are running to ensure it works with the right heroku application.

By copying the newcloneapp folder into its own directory, you are still retaining the git config for the application; hence the multiple heroku apps in this folder.

You can remove one of the applications by editing the .git/config file and removing one section with the url = [email protected]:your-app-name.git line.

In one of my heroku apps, I have the following config in the .git/config file: 

[remote "staging"]
  url = [email protected]:my-app-name.git
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/staging/*
[remote "production"]
  url = [email protected]:my-app-name.git
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/staging/*

With this in place, I can push to both staging and production from the same repo. Looks like you need only one app in the folder; so you should have only one of the above sections.
