How to transfer Heroku app owner permissions to another account

I’ll introduce how to transfer Heroku app owner permissions to another account.
Here are the steps to transfer Heroku app owner permissions:
Login to Heroku with the source account
heroku login
Move to the directory of the app to transfer ownership
heroku git:clone -a target_app
cd target_app
Grant app permissions to the destination account
heroku access:add new_owner@example.com --app target_app
heroku apps:transfer new_owner@example.com --app target_app
Initiating transfer of ⬢ target_app to new_owner@example.com... email sent
Finally, Heroku will send an email to the destination account’s email address. Access the Heroku site from there and accept the ownership transfer to complete the process.
Note: Transfer Heroku Pipeline permissions in advance
If you don’t transfer Heroku Pipeline permissions in advance, the Pipeline will disappear, so you need to be careful about that.
That’s all from the Gemba where we want to transfer Heroku app ownership to another account.
