title: Is it possible to deploy a rails application to Heroku without changing stages?
body: <p>I've been running into a problem pushing code to Heroku and having stages change that break my application. It works locally, yet when I push to Heroku I notice that the app switches to production stage and breaks. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to only use one stage, i.e. develop in my production stage locally? I'm in no need of version history. Alternatively, could I simply push my development stage to Heroku? </p>
  
  <p>Locally, I'm running OSX 10.8.1, Ruby 1.9.3p194, and Rails 3.2.8.</p>
  
  <p>The app is a minimal blog based on what I've been learning and piecing things together. It utilizes SQLite for storage.</p>
