dsh-workspace-git

Bootstrapping a Harness workspace from a remote repository used to be a two-step detour: clone in a terminal first, then go back and pick the folder in the UI. dsh-workspace-git collapses that into a single interaction inside the existing Add workspace dialog. Alongside the original Existing folder tab, a new Clone Git repository tab lets you enter the repository URL, a parent directory, and a folder name, then hands the finished path straight back into Harness standard workspace-creation flow.

The clone runs on the host side via a direct git clone call, never through a shell, and always inside a private staging directory. If the clone fails, the staging area is simply discarded, so an existing destination is never overwritten or removed. Interactive Git prompts are disabled to prevent hung requests, and two tunable knobs are exposed for constrained environments: a clone timeout (default 10 minutes) and a cap on captured Git output returned on failure (default 64 KiB). SSH agents and credential helpers you have already configured continue to work as-is.

This plugin is best suited for developers who regularly bootstrap Harness workspaces from shared team repositories or open-source projects and want to turn the fetch-and-create cycle into a single click without losing context.
