Unfortunately, updating an instance deployed via Heroku Quick Deploy isn't as simple as creating one.

Quickest Solution

The quickest way to get the latest version of the app is to delete your old Heroku instance and redeploy a new one with the same name. Configuration changes won't be carried over, but your browser will reuse the existing template for searching from the URL bar if the name of the app is the same.

Alternative Solution

If you don't want to go through those steps, you can deploying with the following:

  1. Fork this repo to your own profile
  2. Enable GitHub integration in Heroku
  3. Deploy the app from your fork
  4. Occasionally update your fork with the changes upstream to quickly deploy all changes.
