The docs are still contradicting each other on how to do a Heroku deployment. Can someone please explain what the CircleCI recommended way is?

1. [https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/deployment-integrations/#heroku](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/deployment-integrations/#heroku)  
Looks good, but generates a heroku auth error  
WARNING:  
remote: ! Do not authenticate with username and password using git.  
remote: ! Run `heroku login` to update your credentials, then retry the git command.

2. Under app settings “Heroku Deployment” it has  
deployment:  
staging:  
branch: master  
heroku:  
appname: foo-bar-123  
This was for 1.0 and should be ignored completely?

3. Use a .circleci/setup\_heroku.sh with manually configured ssh keys. This is the only working solution that I have been able to implement.

Yes this is for 1.0 and should be ignored completely.

This looks like your remote branch is `https` instead of `git`. You should use `git` so that it does key authentication instead of password authentication. Can you give that a try? If that works, we should update the docs because this looks like a poor practice.
