I can see from your commit history that you have tried different URL types for the package, are you getting the same error no matter what type of URL you have used?

It should work with the original URL that is in the package.json file. Even just the user/repo format should work.

"fcc-express-bground": "freeCodeCamp/fcc-express-bground-pkg"

Anytime you change the URL you have to run npm install to update the lock file otherwise it won’t get updated and Heroku may just be using the lock file.

As an example right now you have this in your package.json

{
	"name": "fcc-learn-node-with-express",
	"version": "0.1.0",
	"dependencies": {
		"express": "^4.14.0",
		"body-parser": "^1.15.2",
		"cookie-parser": "^1.4.3",
		"fcc-express-bground": "github:freeCodeCamp/fcc-express-bground-pkg.git"	
	},
	"main": "server.js",
	"scripts": {
		"start": "npm install && node server.js"
	}
}

But this is in the lock file.

"node_modules/fcc-express-bground": {
	"version": "0.0.5",
	"resolved": "git+ssh://git@github.com/freeCodeCamp/fcc-express-bground-pkg.git#105588834ca467f887b99166244f1de62a84cdb8",
	"integrity": "sha512-+HXHCtd8IuwfXYZmofQqpQQRr2cZeo1uNzXVse4NDkpBR5pMGOGORLgCWgIyF2YlyI53xZfmKDVTR9UrLfyXmQ==",
	"license": "(BSD-3-Clause AND CC-BY-SA-4.0)"
},

As you can see they do not match. Try using the normal URL or user/repo version and update the lock file.

Otherwise, maybe try just deleting the package-lock.json file and see if that helps with the Heroku install.

Edit: here is a related issue.

If you can’t get it to work with Heroku I would suggest you just use Replit instead.
