I have been creating a GitHub project. Now I'm planning on hosting it on Heroku. It looks like Heroku creates a new git repository and expects me to use it for my project. How can I point Heroku at my existing repository?

you still need your github repository.
git remote add heroku {heroku repository path}
will add another remote repository to your code, then
git remote
will list all your remotes, probably
-- origin
-- heroku
and then
git push {remote name} {branch name}
will push to the appropriate remote:
git push heroku master
will start your deployment
git push origin
or probably just
git push
will push your changes just on github

1I would clarify on what to do if the Heroku app already exists (as your answer assumes), or if you've yet to create it. In the latter case, `heroku create` will add the `heroku` remote for them. – catsby Nov 10 '13 at 15:34
