You need to add a command in `app.yml` to change the `origin` remote to point to your fork, otherwise the base image will still be using the official Discourse repo. You can build your own base image, too, but that’s a lot more effort to keep maintained, and will likely cause Confusion and Delay in the future. So, just add this to your `app.yml`:

```
run:
  - exec:
     cd: /var/www/discourse
     cmd:
         - sudo -u discourse git remote set-url origin https://git.example.com/discourse.git
         - sudo -u discourse git fetch origin
         - sudo -u discourse git checkout origin/master

```

You can also do various other forms of the above git commands, to get the code you want checked out, checked out.
