Feature Release: Official Open-Source DDEV Add-on

We have released an official, open-source DDEV integration utility that enables automated data and media synchronization between local development environments and your account properties. This stable 1.0 release introduces native command-line functions that manage asset pulls and staging pushes without requiring dashboard interaction or auxiliary plugins.

Updates & Navigation

  • Native Pull Command Integration: Adds the ddev pull pressable command to download database instances and media attachments while automatically executing local web address find-and-replace routines.
  • Native Push Command Integration: Adds the ddev push pressable command to deploy local databases and media assets up to target staging properties. This automated routine restores staging URLs and performs a cache flush upon completion.
  • Selective Bypass Flags: Integrates support for –skip-files and –skip-db flags, allowing you to isolate and sync only the data layer or only your file uploads.
  • Native SSH Transport Architecture: Uses the built-in SSH infrastructure assigned to every site, removing the administrative requirement for control panel API tokens or configuration changes.
  • Production Overwrite Protections: Restricts push capabilities strictly to non-production staging properties, requiring mandatory command-line verification prompts to prevent accidental live data overwrites.

How to Get Started 

Navigate to an active local terminal directory, initialize your configuration as a WordPress project type, and run ddev add-on get pressable/ddev-pressable. Add your propertyโ€™s specific SSH username via your local web-environment variables to begin syncing your workspaces.
