Installing a Gem on Heroku from a Private GitHub Repo

Sometimes you want to use a gem on Heroku that is in a private repository on GitHub.

Using git over http you can authenticate to GitHub using basic authentication. However, we don't want to embed usernames and passwords in Gemfiles. Instead, we can use authentication tokens.

1. Get an OAuth Token from GitHub

First you will need to get an OAuth Token from GitHub using your own username and "note"

In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

It became a big deal:

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)

require 'net/http'

# WARNING do not use this; it works but is very limited
def resolve url
  res = Net::HTTP.get_response URI(url)
  if res.code == '301' then res['location']
  else url.to_s
  end
end

// by the way, you need to logout and log back in for this to take effect.  Or at least that's what

// P.S. Go to [Apple menu --> System Preferences --> Displays --> Display --> Scaled] after logging

Set the Mac OS X SOCKS proxy on the command line

Set the SOCKS proxy to local SSH tunnel

networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxy "Ethernet" localhost 8080

To clear the domain and port
