dsh-worktree-manager

A DeepSeek Harness plugin that adds git worktree management to the task start window — list, create, and select worktrees for development.

Why

Git worktrees let you have multiple working directories connected to the same repository, each on a different branch. This is useful when you want to:

• Work on a feature branch without stashing changes on main
• Run tests on one branch while developing on another
• Keep a clean main checkout for reference while developing

The dsh task start window has a workspace picker for selecting a directory to work in, but it doesn't know about git worktrees. This plugin bridges that gap by:

1. Adding a "Git Worktree" button to the workspace picker area
2. Scanning all registered dsh workspaces and grouping those inside a git repository by their shared repository root
3. Providing a dropdown that lists worktrees grouped by repository, with per-repo collapsible sections and a cross-repo search filter
4. Allowing creation of new worktrees (new branch) with a target-repo selector
5. Auto-registering selected/created worktrees as dsh workspaces and switching to them

Architecture

The plugin follows the dsh dual-half plugin pattern:

Host half (src/index.ts)

A Cordis plugin that injects ctx.webServer, ctx.shell, and ctx.workspaceRegistry. It registers HTTP routes under /plugins/dsh-worktree-manager/api/:

The host half uses node:child_process to run git worktree commands and ctx.workspaceRegistry.create() to register worktrees as dsh workspaces. POST requests are rejected when the Origin header doesn't match the request Host (CSRF guard); non-browser clients that omit Origin are unaffected.

Client half (src/client/index.ts)

A browser module loaded at boot (immediately: true). It uses a MutationObserver to detect when the workspace picker appears in the SPA, then injects a "Git Worktree" button. Clicking the button opens a dropdown that:

• Calls GET /api/topology to discover all git repositories among the registered dsh workspaces
• Concurrently loads worktrees for every discovered repository via GET /api/list
• Renders worktrees grouped by repository, each section collapsible; the repository containing the current workspace expands by default
• Provides a search box that filters worktrees across all repositories by name, branch, or path
• Offers a create row with a target-repo selector (defaulting to the current workspace's repo) and a new-branch input

The client communicates with the host through fetch() calls to the custom HTTP routes.

Install

从 git 源直接安装即可——仓库已提交构建产物 lib/，安装过程中不做任何编译，也不需要 allowBuilds 构建授权：

dsh plugin --profile web add github:shenkonghui/dsh-worktree-manager

也可以从本地检出构建后安装，再启动 Web UI：

npm run build
npm install
npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web

The harness discovers the plugin from the dsh manifest field and:
- Loads the host half as a Cordis plugin (registers HTTP routes)
- Injects the client bundle at boot (immediately: true)

产物维护

lib/ 已纳入版本控制（.gitignore 不再忽略它），这正是 git 源安装能免构建的原因。代价是：改动 src/ 后必须重新构建并连同 lib/ 一起提交，否则远程仓库会停留在旧产物上。

npm run build      # 重建 lib/（host 半 tsc 输出 + client 半 esbuild 打包）
npm run check:lib  # 把源码重建到临时目录，与入库产物逐字节比对

npm run check:lib 在产物缺失、多余或内容不同时以非零码退出并列出差异文件，用来在提交前拦住漂移。

自检脚本

两个脚本都读 lib/ 产物，所以要在 npm run build 之后跑：

node scripts/changes-self-check.mjs   # 「变更」视图的 git 管线（status/diff-tree/submodule）
node scripts/merge-self-check.mjs     # worktree 合并状态判定（分支级快查 + detached HEAD 单点判定）

Usage

1. Start the dsh web UI
2. In the task start window, look for the "Worktree" button near the workspace picker
3. Click it to open the worktree dropdown — it scans all registered workspaces and groups worktrees by repository
4. To select an existing worktree: expand a repository section, then click a worktree to switch to it
5. To filter: type in the search box to match worktrees across all repositories by name, branch, or path
6. To create a new worktree: choose a target repository from the selector (defaults to the current repo), type a new branch name, and click "创建"

The selected/created worktree directory is registered as a dsh workspace and the sidebar switches to it.

合并状态配色

分组开启后，侧边栏里每个 worktree 行的分支徽标会体现它是否已经合回主干：

• 基准分支 = 该仓库主工作树当前检出的分支（/api/topology 的 mainBranch）。主工作树自身是基准，不参与判定，保持蓝色。
• 判定方式 = 该 worktree 分支的 tip 是否可从基准到达，即完全合并（git branch --merged）；detached HEAD 的 worktree 改用其 HEAD 提交做单点祖先判定（git merge-base --is-ancestor）。合并后又有新提交的算未合并。
• 绿色 = 已合并到基准；蓝色 = 未合并。
• 徽标的 hover 提示会写明 已合并到 <基准> / 未合并到 <基准>。
• 判不出来时（基准不存在，例如主工作树处于 detached HEAD）不在 /api/topology 的 worktree 行上给 merged 字段：徽标保持蓝色，但提示只显示分支名，不会被误报成「未合并」。

判定在宿主侧完成（/api/topology 的 worktrees[].merged），客户端只负责取色，因此拓扑刷新时状态会一起更新。

API Reference

GET /plugins/dsh-worktree-manager/api/list

Query parameters: repoPath (required)

Returns:

{
"worktrees": [
{
"path": "/repo/main",
"head": "abc123...",
"branch": "main",
"bare": false,
"locked": false,
"prunable": false
}
]
}

GET /plugins/dsh-worktree-manager/api/topology

No parameters. Scans every registered dsh workspace, resolves its git repository root via git rev-parse --git-common-dir (so linked worktrees group under their main worktree), and returns one entry per distinct root — repo discovery, per-repo worktree lists and merge status all in one response.

{
"repos": [
{
"root": "/path/to/repo",
"name": "repo",
"mainBranch": "main",
"worktrees": [
{ "path": "/path/to/repo-worktrees/feature", "branch": "feature", "merged": true, "locked": true }
],
"workspaces": [
{ "id": "ws-uuid", "path": "/path/to/repo", "title": "repo" },
{ "id": "ws-uuid-2", "path": "/path/to/repo-worktrees/feature", "title": "feature" }
]
}
]
}

worktrees lists only linked worktrees (the main worktree is root itself); merged is absent when the host could not decide (e.g. the main worktree is on detached HEAD). locked/prunable are present only when set, for dropdown badges.

GET /plugins/dsh-worktree-manager/api/changes

Query parameters: path (required, any directory inside the repo/worktree)

Returns the working-tree changes of the containing worktree. Submodule pointer rows are excluded from files and reported per submodule instead; each submodule's own working-tree changes are listed file-level.

{
"root": "/path/to/worktree",
"branch": "main",
"files": [{ "code": "??", "path": "new.txt" }],
"submodules": [
{
"path": "sub",
"name": "sub",
"newCommits": true,
"uninitialized": false,
"files": [{ "code": " M", "path": "a.txt" }]
}
]
}

GET /plugins/dsh-worktree-manager/api/history

Query parameters: path (required), limit (optional, 1–200, default 50)

Returns { root, branch?, commits: [{ hash, subject, author, date }] } (date = epoch ms). Empty commits for a repository with no commits yet.

GET /plugins/dsh-worktree-manager/api/commit

Query parameters: path (required), hash (required, commit hash), sub (optional, submodule path relative to the worktree root)

Returns one commit's changed files. Submodule pointer rows become submodules entries listing the submodule commits between the old and new pointer (git -C log old..new). With sub, hash refers to a commit inside that submodule instead — the handler runs git diff-tree inside the submodule and returns only that commit's files (empty submodules).

{
"files": [{ "code": "M", "path": "f.txt" }],
"submodules": [{ "path": "sub", "name": "sub", "commits": ["abc1234 sub change"] }]
}

GET /plugins/dsh-worktree-manager/api/diff

Query parameters: path (required), file (required, repo-relative), sub (optional, submodule-relative directory the file lives in), hash (optional, commit hash)

Returns { diff } — the unified diff of one file. With hash, the commit's diff for the file; otherwise the working tree vs HEAD (staged + unstaged). Untracked files fall back to a /dev/null pseudo-diff. file/sub must stay inside the worktree (absolute paths and .. segments are rejected).

POST /plugins/dsh-worktree-manager/api/create

Body:

{
"repoPath": "/path/to/repo",
"branch": "feature/my-feature",
"newBranch": true,
"targetPath": "/path/to/worktree"
}

Returns the created worktree info and the dsh workspace ID.

POST /plugins/dsh-worktree-manager/api/remove

Body:

{
"worktreePath": "/path/to/worktree",
"force": false
}

Deletes the worktree from its main worktree and unregisters the dsh workspace registered for it (if any).

POST /plugins/dsh-worktree-manager/api/branches

Body:

{
"repoPath": "/path/to/repo"
}

Returns { "branches": ["main", "develop", ...], "current": "main" }.
