title: Pushing custom node_module while deploying on heroku
body: <p>I am trying to deploy my <code>node-express</code> website on heroku.  Everything works fine, but just one problem.</p>
  
  <p>I have used express-stormpath as a dependency in my project, which i have customized(the views only).</p>
  
  <p>When I deploy this to heroku, using <code>git push heroku master</code>, the node_module is ignored while uploading and all the modules are installed by heroku itself using npm. So my customization to the node module is not reflected at heroku. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried this also: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23210437/npm-install-private-github-repositories-by-dependency-in-package-json">npm install private github repositories by dependency in package.json</a></p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on how to upload whole project including the node_modules to heroku?</p>
