Using pre-deployed verion of deploybot

To allow Deploy Bot to access your heroku app add [email protected] as a collaborator at https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/:your-heroku-app/collaborators

For use with private GitHub repo add botx([email protected]) to collaborators.

Add the following config-vars to your app:

SOURCE_REPO   : URL of git repo to deploy
SOURCE_BRANCH : Branch to deploy (default: master)

Additional configs:

SEND_DEPLOY_SUCCESS       : set false if you dont want e-mail for successful deployments.
                            If you want reports to be sent to only some collaborators
                            set an array of their e-mail id. (default: true)
SEND_DEPLOY_ERROR         : set false if you dont want e-mail for deployment errors.
                            If you want reports to be sent to only some collaborators
                            set an array of their e-mail id. (default: true)
SEND_DEPLOY_ALREADYUPDATE : set true if you want e-mail when repository was already up-to-date.
                            If you want reports to be sent to only some collaborators
                            set an array of their e-mail id. (default: false)

Now send a request at deploybot.abhishekmunie.com/:your-heroku-app to initiate deploy.
