using ruby on rails and deploying through heroku, css styling shows up perfectly on localhost but styling is messed up on herokuapp

Question

i m following michael hartl's ruby on rails online tutorial book and finished chapter 10:

my localhost displays everything in proper format:

profile page looks like this on localhost: http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/5301/profilen.png)

news feed looks like this on localhost: http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/2280/newsfeed.png)

but please visit--> whizcollab.herokuapp.com and check out the styling changes in comparison to the localhost...it looks very weird. all the content seems to be there but the css is different in my opinion. all the files are uploaded through git properly and pushed up to the herokuapp.

is there a compatibility issue?

please guide :)

Remember to do a 'git add .' then check with a 'git status'. If there are any files listed iteans that heroku did not receive your latest change. Just do a 'git push heroku master' and you should be fine.

i made more changes to my app locally and added more functions..did the whole git add and push to heroku thing but still the css is different on localhost than on herokuapp...this is very weird...is there any way to get around? can i create a new repo on github and then upload my files again? please guide me as i am a beginner at ROR and merely following a tutorial to learn..thanks.

One thing you can try is to delete the YOUR_APP/public/assets folder. Then commit everything and try pushing again

hmm so i deleted everything in that folder and tried to run git add . and then git commit but git commit gives me an error saying "changes not staged for commit"

make sure you're in your root folder of your app before you do git add .

That can't possibly be the same code deployed to the Heroku instance as you show locally in the screenshots. There are elements missing in the Heroku version.
