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 property’s specific SSH username via your local web-environment variables to begin syncing your workspaces.
