heroku: Create a Heroku app.
$ heroku create
try on your machine

The heroku create command is used in the command-line interface (CLI) of the Heroku platform to create a new Heroku application.

When you run heroku create, Heroku automatically generates a new unique name for your application and creates a new Git remote that is linked to the Heroku app. This allows you to easily deploy your code to the Heroku platform by simply pushing your Git repository to the remote.

The heroku create command also adds a new remote named heroku to your Git configuration, pointing to the Heroku Git server. This remote is used for deploying your application to Heroku.

In addition, when you run heroku create, Heroku assigns your application a random URL, such as https://random-name-1234.herokuapp.com, where you can access your deployed application.

Overall, heroku create is a convenient command that simplifies the process of creating a new Heroku application, setting up the necessary Git remotes, and assigning a unique name and URL to your app.
