Git url clones an empty repo

[q3e]

Afrter deploying yo heroku, cloning from the app url:

Cloning into 'keyston-starter'... warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository. Checking connectivity... done. Tried this solution - didn't help

This is actually the expected behavior of the deploy button. The idea is to encourage people to contribute to the source repo. There's probably a better way but you can do something like:

git clone https://github.com/USER/REPO.git
git remote add heroku https://git.heroku.com/APP-NAME.git
git push -f heroku master
