Suggestion: Streamline Shopify app deployment to Heroku with a custom CLI

Hi everyone,

While building Shopify apps, I found that deploying to Heroku can be a bit repetitive — switching between CLIs, syncing environment variables manually, and repeating the same setup steps every time.

To simplify this workflow, I created a small open-source CLI tool called shopify-heroku-cli. It helps:

  • Sync Shopify app environment variables directly to Heroku

  • Deploy apps with a single command

  • Eliminate the need to manually copy values or juggle commands between tools

I wrote a detailed step-by-step guide on how to use it here:
Deploy your Shopify app to Heroku in seconds

I’d really appreciate any feedback — especially around whether this kind of deployment utility could fit into or complement the existing Shopify CLI experience for app developers.

Thanks for taking a look!
