A Heroku hk CLI plugin for creating app.json manifests
npm install hk-manifesthk-manifest is an hk plugin for creating
app.json files.
When you run it, it looks in the current directory for clues about the app, such
a .git directory, a package.json, or a heroku git remote, and uses those to
set sensible defaults for your app.json manifest
