dsh-github-workbench

When you are deep in a conversation with DeepSeek Harness—drafting code, arguing architecture—and suddenly need to check a repo tree, triage an issue, merge a PR, or re-run CI, bouncing to the browser breaks your flow. dsh-github-workbench drops a full GitHub workbench into the sidebar (or a collapsible panel next to the chat), giving you four tabs—Code, Issues, Pull requests, and Actions—so reading and writing happen without ever leaving the conversation. A particularly handy feature is the chat link takeover: once enabled, any github.com URL that appears in the chat opens directly in the workbench with the right repo and detail view, and each link gets its own independent instance.

Write operations are where it really shines. Create Issues and PRs with head and base branch selection, leave or edit comments, rename and close tickets—all from the panel. Merging offers merge, squash, and rebase with a confirmation dialog showing the method and target branch before anything is executed. The Actions tab shows live run statuses; hover a row to re-run or cancel. The repo switcher lists every repository your token can see, supports public-repo search, and pins recently used repos. Version 0.2.6 adds an Inbox that aggregates new Issues, PRs, and recent Actions into one place—one click jumps to the matching tab.

Built for developers and small teams who interact with GitHub frequently inside DeepSeek Harness: triaging issues mid-conversation, watching CI while writing code, and refusing to context-switch between browser, terminal, and chat. Your Personal Access Token lives only in browser localStorage and never touches a server or the conversation context; without a token you can still browse public repos anonymously.
