[DDEV] Woodoo Frontend Buildtools for Magento & Hyvä

This ddev add-on helps you to manage your theme build processes in Magento easily. You can run a build command to build all your themes or a specific theme. It doesn't matter if the theme is a Magento Standard Theme, a Custom Theme, or a Hyva theme. It automatically takes care of which type of theme you use and builds it for you. If a dependency is missing, Woodoo will install it.

>> Build all your Magento themes at once, with Magic, build with Woodoo!
