To set config vars for a Heroku app, you do this:

$ heroku config:set GITHUB_USERNAME=joesmith

How would I set a config var with the contents of a file?

Take a look at the heroku-config plugin, which adds a heroku config:push command to push key-value pairs in a file named .env to the app.

It also has a heroku config:pull command to do the opposite and works very well with foreman for running the app locally with the config in .env.
