Hi Steve, I’ve never run into this issue. But nevertheless, comment it out from your gitignore file. Let me know if things are working smoothly.

Hi!

For what it is worth, I am having the same issue. I have added a theme using composer require wpackagist-theme/my-theme on the cli, then it didn't work so I followed the directions above and copied the unzipped theme folder directly into /web/app/themes, commented out the .gitignore line that was preventing the themes from going into source control, and pushed to heroku. The build succeeded. The theme did not show up.
