I have made a Python Application and uploaded it in github.

Then i made a heroku app ad connected to the github repository.' There is a data.json in my application repository that keeps some info. While application is running the application works fine and data also stores and retrive from there. But when i see in github the file is not changed. Means the data.json file is as it was in the begining. That means the changed file is somewhere in heroku. How can i download that file so that i can retrive my data

    You shouldn't store changes on the dyno file system, it's ephemeral. Use a database, e.g. Heroku offers Postgres: https://www.heroku.com/postgres. – jonrsharpe Feb 29 '20 at 08:57

If you have pushed using the command

git push heroku master

You can clone what is pushed using:

heroku git:clone -a APP-NAME

This of course assumes you have heroku-cli installed.

    But [don't make a habit of it](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git-clone-heroku-app): "A Heroku app’s Git repository is intended for deployment purposes only. Cloning from this repository is not officially supported as a feature and should be attempted only as a last resort. **Do not** use this repository as your app’s canonical “origin” repository. Instead, use your own Git server or a version control service such as GitHub." – ChrisGPT was on strike Feb 29 '20 at 19:32
