dsh-git-dashboard

Inside a DeepSeek Harness web session, checking which branch you are on, what files changed, or what is staged usually means switching to a terminal or IDE and back — an interruptive loop that breaks flow. dsh-git-dashboard embeds a read-only Git workspace dashboard right into the session header: the current branch (or detached HEAD) and a change count are visible at a glance, and expanding the panel reveals counts for staged, unstaged, untracked, and conflicted files, each annotated with +N/−M relative to HEAD.

Clicking a file surfaces a size-capped unified diff preview (default: at most 500 changed lines and 256 KiB of output), so you can assess the scope of a change without leaving the conversation. Binary files, conflicts, or over-limit diffs are handled gracefully with a clear explanation instead of a raw dump. Branch comparison is also supported: pick a base branch to see ahead/behind counts and a per-file summary, which is handy before a merge or rebase.

The plugin is strictly read-only — it never executes write operations. Exposed data (repo name, branch names, paths, line counts, and small diffs) is bound by the Gateway trusted-host mechanism, and loopback usage is recommended. If you develop in a dsh web session and want a constant, quiet glance at your Git state without context-switching, this dashboard slots in cleanly at the top of your conversation.
