I set up a heroku account and when I do git push heroku master, heroku shows that I built, but my local GitHub doesn't update with my code changes.

In my settings I have the proper GitHub repo too. Picture of my settings

That's how it's supposed to work.

You pushed to a remote called heroku, which is likely pointed at Heroku. You probably have another remote, possibly called origin, that you haven't pushed these update to yet. Heroku will never update GitHub for you.

However it looks like you've set up the GitHub integration within Heroku. That works in the other direction, from GitHub to Heroku:

Heroku integrates with GitHub to make it easy to deploy code living on GitHub to apps running on Heroku. When GitHub integration is configured for a Heroku app, Heroku can automatically build and release (if the build is successful) pushes to the specified GitHub repo.

This can be manual, in which case you need to click a button on the Heroku side to build, or automatic, in which case your push to (or merge into) the configured GitHub branch will automatically trigger a build on Heroku.
