How can I specify a gem to pull from a private git

Question

I have a private repository on Github that I want to use. I deploy my app to Heroku. How can I specify a private repository as the source on my gemfile? I imagine it wouldn't be enough to simply say

gem "mygem", :git=>"my github address"

• Create a ssh keys
• Make sure those keys under ~/.ssh directory
• Copy content of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into https://github.com/MY_COMPANY/MY_GEM/settings/keys
• In your Gemfile use: gem 'mygem', github: 'MY_COMPANY/MY_GEM'
• run bundle install
