'How can i create a clone of an existing app on heroku from another heroku app as separate app?

I have a main app on heroku and another app A on git in location github:a.

I want to create, when it is necessary, copies of A as A1,A2,A3...AN as separate apps on heroku from my main app automatically with different parameters.

How can i do that?

Edit: This process should be done by my main app automatically.

heroku

Updating this answer due to Heroku command DEPRECATION:

heroku fork has been deprecated as a core command as of 12/01/2017.

You will need to install the heroku-fork plugin to continue using this command.

heroku plugins:install heroku-fork

Here is a link to the Github plugin repo.

Use heroku fork to copy an existing application, including add-ons, config vars, and Heroku Postgres data.

See this KB page: Forking Applications.

Solution 4:[4]

There is a new feature on Heroku called Review Apps. One can create copies of the app manually or set up automatic copies from new PRs on Github. Read more at: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/github-integration-review-apps
