Plugin Overview & Capabilities

AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.

source-grounded
dsh-branchman is a DeepSeek Harness plugin that treats branching an engineering direction as an atomic operation. Each branch creates an isolated git worktree paired with a child session that inherits the parent conversation history, mapped visually into an interactive branch overview graph in the UI alongside dedicated agent tools.

Key Capabilities

  • Atomic creation of git worktrees combined with inherited conversation child sessions via branch_fork
  • Visual SVG branch overview graph in the chat UI with click-to-switch session navigation
  • Agent tools for branch querying, status tracking, merging (--no-ff), and dropping
  • Passive branch discovery for sessions whose working directory is inside .branches/
  • Graceful degradation to clean child sessions if host session APIs are unavailable

Useful For

  • Exploring alternative technical implementations without dirtying the main working tree or losing conversation history
  • Reviewing ahead/behind commit differences and merging completed branch experiments back to main
  • Navigating multi-branch engineering exploration sessions visually from within DeepSeek Harness

Who It Fits

  • Software engineers using DeepSeek Harness for multi-path exploratory coding
  • Developers needing isolated git worktree environments paired with context-aware AI sessions

Documented Limitations

  • Requires git version 2.28 or higher
  • Main workspace must be clean before creating (fork) or merging branches
  • Branch names serve as directory and branch names with a maximum length of 60 characters
  • History inheritance requires completed turns in the source conversation; otherwise falls back to a blank session
  • Branch visualization overview graph is read-only for merging and dropping (actions require tools or CLI scripts)
