How to access heroku git over https behind firewalls restricting ssh

Question

Heroku deployment works like a charm in at my home.

But my office network restricts ssh which blocks the command "git push heroku master" Is there a way to use a https url of the heroku git repository to push my app.

After further digging it seems that heroku does not support git over https. The only workaround is to maintain a copy of the project in GitHub or any other repository which supports https. use this repo to work from locations which do not support ssh. For deployment to heroku clone this app and deploy from a firewall free machine. — Kumaresan, Jan 09 '12 at 19:42

You can push to heroku git only through ssh.

Update(per @ryanbrainard comment): HTTP Git is now GA https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2014/12/5/http_git_now_generally_available

is that still current? – mikebz Dec 27 '13 at 17:33
omg... took me an hour to figure this out. Haven't had an issue using a global `insteadOf` directive until now. I guess github, bitbucket and all the others i use support https. Why not Heroku? – deck Apr 25 '14 at 18:06
Another question: why can't Heroku pull directly from Github? – Rob Grant Aug 20 '14 at 10:26

is there a similar thing for heroku run? – Markus Graf Jul 28 '14 at 14:11
That uses the Heroku API to push, which I assume still uses SSH? – Rob Grant Aug 20 '14 at 10:32
that works for me. I was unable to push throught git (company firewall issue) and with this plugin it works. Great! – Kioko Kiaza Sep 17 '14 at 07:29

This method is [deprecated](https://devcenter.heroku.com/changelog-items/586). Please use [HTTP Git](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8793282/how-to-access-heroku-git-over-https-behind-firewalls-restricting-ssh/28521579#28521579). – ryanbrainard Feb 14 '15 at 23:51

Heroku now supports GIT over HTTP (this is a beta feature). Check https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/http-git. https://git.heroku.com/{app-name}.git will be the URL for your repo.

Heroku now has full HTTP Git support and is the default option for new apps. If you want to change an existing app from SSH Git to HTTP Git, run:

$ heroku git:remote

and then push like normal:

$ git push heroku master

For details, see the documentation.
