I am trying to deploy a Python / Django app for a class project and been told I have to use Heroku, which I don't like at all!
Initially when I tried to push to heroku using the cli git push heroku main, i got an error saying 'No default language could be detected for this app.' So I added Python Buildpack within the Heroku dashboard. Now I get an error saying App not compatible with buildpack.
I've followed the Heroku django app config installing gunicorn and configured the setting.py here is my file structure and setting.py, can anyone advise why is not pushing to heroku?
