+- in `/backend`, add heroku git repo as a remote: `git init && git remote add heroku <heroku git url>`
+- track `master` in heroku with current branch: `git branch -u heroku/master`
+- commit changes: `git commit -am ""`
+- push changes to heroku: `git push HEAD:master`

+- init the git repo in `/frontend/app`
+- the Procfile is `web: npm start`
+- run `npm run build` before pushing changes to heroku remote
