DeepSeek Harness (DSH) uses a plugin-based architecture. Developers often need to interact with Git repositories directly in their workflows. The ayumedaze/dsh-git plugin packages a Fork-style Git graphical interface (Express backend + browser frontend), allowing it to be embedded in the DSH desktop or web version.

Prerequisites

Before installation, ensure that Node.js (version ≥22) and git are installed on your local machine.

Installation and Activation

  1. Run the installation command in the root directory of the plugin repository:
    dsh plugin --profile <profile-name> add .

If the profile does not exist, the command automatically initializes it first.
  1. Restart DSH (the desktop version, or restart it via the dsh --profile ... command).
  2. After restarting, a Git button appears at the bottom of the sidebar.

The desktop profile name can be found in DSH Settings/Plugin Management.

Core Features

  • Starts the Git GUI service.
  • Registers API endpoints.
  • Registers a Git button in the sidebar.
  • Embeds the Git GUI in a popup.
  • Supports local git repository paths.
  • Records recently opened repositories and automatically restores them on the next launch.

Usage

  1. Open DSH and click the Git (⏣) button at the bottom of the left sidebar.
  2. In the popped-up Git GUI overlay, click Open… and paste a local git repository path.

Configuration and Limitations

The environment variable GIT_GUI_PORT can override the default port (3417). The port is bound only to 127.0.0.1 and will not be exposed to the local area network.
