This is a Heroku buildpack which downloads and builds specified version of git.
Example usage:
$ heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack https://github.com/abhishekmunie/heroku-buildpack-git.git
...
$ git push heroku master
...
-----> Heroku receiving push
-----> Fetching custom buildpack... cloning with git...done
-----> Git app detected
-----> Downloading Git ... done
-----> Installing Git...
...
done
-----> Discovering process types
...
The buildpack will detect your app as Git if it has the file _git.cfg
in the root
.
This can be used in combination with ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi in order to support more complex use-cases where you need a specific version of git.
Buildpack reads its configuration from _git.cfg
git_version="<git_version>"
To modify this buildpack, fork it on Github. Push up changes to your fork, then
create a test app with --buildpack <your-github-url>
and push to it.
