Connect your Heroku app to GitHub

If your App is connected to GitHub, go to it's Settings tab, and edit the config vars:

ADMINS
list of GitHub usernames who can act as admin (adding removing users and settings)
example: ["necccc"]
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET
these are displayed on your GitHub Org OAuth application page
GITHUB_REDIRECT_URI
this should point to a path on this app, like this
https://HEROKU_APP_NAME.herokuapp.com/oauth

If you've added these, go to the Deploy tab on Heroku, scroll to the bottom, and do a manual deploy .
