dsh-git-status

Glancing at git status during an AI-assisted coding session used to mean alt-tabbing to a terminal or installing a separate extension, breaking focus and losing session context. dsh-git-status embeds a live git snapshot directly into the conversation view: an interactive badge in the session header and an ambient status line above the composer, so branch, ahead/behind counts, dirty-file stats, worktree, and HEAD are all visible at a glance.

Clicking the badge opens a branch menu with search, switch (remote branches get DWIM tracking), and create. Every write operation follows a strict safety model: only git switch is used (never --force), a ref whitelist plus argument-array spawning eliminates shell injection, a per-cwd mutex serialises concurrent switches, and a confirmation prompt fires while an agent run is in progress. Non-git directories hide both surfaces automatically, detached HEAD shows a short sha, and linked worktrees carry a dedicated marker.

Built for engineers who drive DSH for AI-assisted development and need to glance at branch state or dirty counts without leaving the chat. Zero build step, official slot mounting, no host code changes-install and it works.
