Developing and contributing

Checkout the plugin source code and tell the Heroku CLI to use your local version of the plugin (instead of the default one distributed with NPM).

$ git clone https://github.com/heroku/heroku-container-tools.git
$ cd heroku-container-tools
$ npm install
$ heroku plugins:link .

Add-ons

The mapping from Heroku add-on specified in app.json to container configured in docker-compose.yml is tracked in lib\app.json. The mapping currently includes a limited subset of add-ons that we have tested. We welcome additions in the form of PRs.
