I have created my first droplet, but I don’t know how to set the root application directory?
I tried to create a folder for my app name in /home/dokku/app_name
Then, I did cd app_name and then git init
Then I added a remote repo:
git remote add dokku root@do.mydomain.com:app_name
But, when try to push I get error:
fatal: 'app_name' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
How to configure this? How to set the root application directory?

You don’t have to create any directory on the host. Remove any folders or files you created.
When you run git push dokku <branch> dokku will automatically create the directories and files needed.
