Find buildpacks with `heroku buildpacks:search` CLI command

Change effective on 11 September 2018

Today we’ve added two new CLI commands heroku buildpacks:search and heroku buildpacks:info which allow you to find a buildpack.

$ heroku buildpacks:search python

numrut/ta-lib  tools      Python wrapper for TA-Lib

After you’ve found a buildpack, you can view buildpack metadata with heroku buildpacks:info:

$ heroku buildpacks:info heroku/python
=== heroku/python
