I have a node server on Heroku and their terminal extension for git. How can I use both repositories separately? I have a repo on github that I want to use for a different project yet I cannot switch the push destination, it all goes to heroku master.
How do I change the branch? I've tried several ways already of setting a git origin branch and trying to push directly to it but it all still shows a heroku master.

You can change the remote tracking branch of your current branch with:
git branch branch_name -u your_new_remote/branch_name
In your case:
git branch master -u origin/master
That would make git status and git push consider the remote origin instead of heroku.
Other solutions are possible:
git config branch.master.remote origin
This assume that origin does exist.
If it does not (see git remote -v output), you can declare that new destination with:
git remote add origin /new/destination/url
If you want to completely replace an existing origin setting (for push and pull):
git remote set-url origin /new/destination/url
If you just want the push url
git remote set-url --push origin /new/destination/url
