Push rejected, failed to detect set buildpack heroku/python

#1

Going by the original book to Deploy on Heroku. Followed instructions step by step. When I try to push the code to Heroku I keep hitting this issue:

Push rejected, failed to detect set buildpack heroku/python
remote: More info: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks#detection-failure

I have my requirements.txt and Procfile set up and in the main folder.

Any suggestions?

What branch are you in? If you’re indeed in your master branch, can you paste me the contents of your git config file? The config file should be in a hidden .git folder in your project root, let me know if you can’t figure out how to open it.

I found the issue- never added to git, was just committing? Time to do some more reading…

Thanks Lime!

Ah, was git status working?

Yes, I think? Everything came up, but it didn’t look right compared to online examples. So I went back to your git tips to possibly find out why. I need a better understanding of Git going forward. The documentation isn’t easy to read…
