Help! git push heroku master failed, no Cedar-supported app detected + more errors

Question

This is a copy/paste from my Windows command prompt:
```
C:\staging\statbook>heroku create
Creating sleepy-waters-5813... done, stack is cedar
http://sleepy-waters-5813.herokuapp.com/ | git@heroku.com:sleepy-waters-5813.git
C:\staging\statbook>git push heroku master
Initializing repository, done.

 !     Push rejected, no Cedar-supported app detected
To git@heroku.com:fast-hamlet-6924.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@heroku.com:fast-hamlet-6924.git'
C:\staging\statbook> 
```
The following shows changes to Gemfile and database.yml that were previously pushed to github, and, after many, many hours of still failing, what I did today.
Today I created a new directory, staging, and did a 
```
git clone https://github.com/jazzminjoy/statbook
```
into it, but it's still the same problem. 
I had C:\staging\statbook\statbook, so then I copied the contents of the 2nd inner directory into the first and deleted the 2nd statbook. The commands at the top of this post followed.
This is the part of my Gemfile on github:
```
group :development, :test do
    gem 'sqlite3'
end
group :production do
    gem 'pg'
    gem 'rails_12factor'
end
```
This is my database.yml file on github:
```
development:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/development.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/test.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000
production:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: db/production.postgresql
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000
```
Please help me get my app online! I need it for a portfolio to get into an apprentice program which pays while you learn on the job. 
Thank you in advance.

Oh my! Wow! I am so thrilled! It's working!
The final fix: from my C:\staging\statbook> windows command prompt, do this:
rake db:migrate
Then do this:
heroku run rake db:migrate
