Deploy to Heroku directly from here the official repo?

[pingu8007]

I'm wondering if deploy from official repository directly is the recommended way to create private instance? I mean, without fork.

Trying to deploy a private instance and it refuse to work due to the missing file staticman.yml in official repository. It's not hard to overcome but a little confusing, since there are no words about the "fork and modify" step.

In my view, a minimum staticman.yml can reduce lots of work creating private staticman instance. Is there any reason not providing such default configuration?

The proper way to deploy (until #346 is merged) is to switch to viewing the dev branch of the repo and click the "Deploy to Heroku" button on the dev branch's README. Config values will be set using the Heroku environment variables.
