Could Heroku-GitHub integration make the installation process easier?

Hi Jordan. That integration you linked to is for deploying the app to Heroku once it has already been installed. You would have to turn on the integration yourself in your own Heroku account with your own GitHub repo.

As an example, here is how this works with this repo and the demo site at https://ohana-web-search-demo.herokuapp.com/:

1. I have this repo installed locally on my machine
2. I created a new ohana-web-search-demo app on my Heroku account
3. I pushed the code to this new app with git push heroku master
4. I then went to the Heroku web site, and clicked on the ohana-web-search-demo app, and turned on GitHub integration and enabled automatic deploys of the master branch and checked the "Wait for CI to pass before a deploy" checkbox.
5. This means that every time I merge a pull request into master on GitHub, Heroku automatically updates the demo site with the new code.

As for the installation process itself, what do you find hard about it? I'm always looking for ways to make it easier. Which parts specifically do you think can be easier?
