About this plugin

When working with DeepSeek Harness, the default web UI focuses entirely on chat and session management, leaving file operations and version control to the terminal or a separate IDE. dsh-vscode-shell replaces the entire web shell with a VS Code-style workbench, bringing file browsing and Git operations into the same window and reducing the context loss that comes from constant tool switching.

The activity bar on the left offers three views: Explorer, Source Control, and Sessions. Explorer lets you navigate the workspace directory tree, copy relative or absolute paths, and reveal files in the OS file manager. Source Control is a full Git panel covering branch display, grouped file changes, per-file or bulk stage and unstage, discard changes, adding entries to .gitignore, a commit message box (Ctrl+Enter to commit), and per-file diff viewing. Multiple sessions appear as editor tabs that can be switched, closed, or created on the fly. The UI follows DSH light and dark tokens, sidebar and panel widths are draggable, and all labels adapt to the configured language.

If you prefer to complete the full coding-to-committing loop inside DSH without ever leaving the browser, this plugin gives your web workbench genuine file awareness and version-control capability. It is also a good fit for teams that want a visual Git workflow, flexible light and dark theming, and quick file-manager access in a browser-based environment.
