Push your Laravel Webapp to heroku server using the command:
git push heroku master

Now we have to config our .env data to our Heroku App. If not done, our website will not work

Ways for adding all .env data to our Heroku App

1 : Add .env data on heroku app Open your heroku app and locate settings tab. Under the settings tab you will get an option of config vars. Paste your .env data one after the other

2. We can also add our .env vars to our Laravel Application using command line statements
EG : heroku config:add APP_NAME=Laravel
Similarly we can add all the .env vars and now our Website is ready to access on the web

Thus by following these steps we can Host our Laravel Webapp on Heroku. If any queries you can get back to dqureshiumar@gmail.com.
