This is a simple tutorial to update your umami stat system when deployed on a Heroku free plan, and it’s complementary to my other post: Backing up umami database on Heroku free plan
Also because first thing I suggest, is to make a backup of the current database as explained in the post above. Then you have to login in the Heroku CLI:
Home@iMac ~ % heroku login
And clone the app to your local disk:
Home@iMac ~ % heroku git:clone -a blog-stats
Cloning into 'blog-stats'...

Then change directory to “your app name” and set the git remote url of umami:
Home@iMac ~ % cd blog-stats
Home@iMac blog-stats % git init
Reinitialized existing Git repository in /Users/Home/blog-stats/.git/
Home@iMac blog-stats % heroku git:remote -a blog-stats
set git remote heroku to https://git.heroku.com/blog-stats.git
Home@iMac blog-stats % git remote add origin https://github.com/mikecao/umami.git
Home@iMac blog-stats % git pull origin master

From https://github.com/mikecao/umami
* branch master -> FETCH_HEAD
* [new branch] master -> origin/master
Home@iMac blog-stats % git add .
Then I encountered this error (only the first time)
Home@iMac blog-stats % git commit -am "pre-heroku"
Author identity unknown
...etc...
That can be quickly solved by authenticate your email to Heroku
Home@iMac blog-stats % git config --global user.email "your@email.com"
Now you simply have to pull from GitHub the latest sources and -wait for Heroku to- build it:
Home@iMac blog-stats % git push heroku master

Done. Open your app url were is your umami database, login and see if the version has been updated. In my case was from 1.25.0 to 1.26.0
