#### On Apple M1 Chipset 

> Please make sure you change Docker's default architecture to `linux/amd64` by running the following command _before_ executing the aforementioned steps
> 
> ```export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64```
>
> More details can be found [here](https://medium.com/geekculture/from-apple-silicon-to-heroku-docker-registry-without-swearing-36a2f59b30a3). 

### Using GitHub

Fork the [nocodb-seed-heroku repository](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb-seed-heroku) to your GitHub account.
Login to Heroku, go to your NocoDB app, and head to the "Deploy" tab.
Select "GitHub" in the "Deployment method" section.

In the "Connect to GitHub" section, search for your forked nocodb-seed-heroku repo. Connect to it:

In the "Automatic deploys" section, select "Enable Automatic Deploys":

Head back to your forked nocodb-seed-heroku repo on your GitHub account. Edit one of your files and make a simple modification (example, add some random characters to the readme.md) and commit the change directly to the main branch.

This will trigger the Heroku deployment. Your app should now be updated to the latest release of NocoDB.
