If I have my Procfile and requirements.txt in the same folder as the file I am running everything works fine. But I am a "neat freak" and like to have everything in organized folders. Is there anyway to have those two files in a seperate folder and still be able to run git push heroku master with no errors?
Or is having them in the root dir the only way?

heroku git

Not possible if using the official Python buildpack.

The detect script checks for a presence of requirements.txt (or setup.py or Pipfile), see https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/blob/main/bin/detect

Procfile is required in the official Python buildpack.

Possible if you write your own Python buildpack.

You have to adjust the detect and compile to use your requirements.txt in a custom directory. Fork https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/tree/main/bin

The node buildpack does not require a Procfile. It executes npm start by default due to: https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs/blob/main/bin/release

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# bin/release <build-dir>

cat << EOF
addons: []
default_process_types:
  web: npm start
EOF

For your custom buildpack you need to add something like that in your release script.

You can set a custom buildpack here: https://i.imgur.com/Kiz8ze3.png
It will show up here: https://i.imgur.com/LNHZAKe.png (Shellinabox is a custom buildpack)
