A Heroku-ready travis triggerer. Allows you to manually or periodically trigger a build for a specific branch.

Heavily inspired by:

• https://github.com/philou/daily-travis
• https://github.com/coderanger/nightlies

• You have the Heroku Toolbelt installed
• You have a Github Token with the default settings

git clone https://github.com/larslockefeer/trigger-travis.git
heroku apps:create {my-prefix}-trigger-travis
heroku config:add TRAVIS_REPOSITORY={user/organization}/{repository}
heroku config:add GITHUB_TOKEN={token}
heroku config:add TRAVIS_BRANCH={branch}
git push heroku master

If you are using Travis Pro instead of Travis for Open Source projects, you also need to do the following:

heroku config:add TRAVIS_PRO=true

You can now trigger a build manually by executing:

heroku run rake build

Or you can schedule a periodical build:

heroku addons:create scheduler:standard
heroku addons:open scheduler

Add the task rake build to your heroku scheduler
