The GIFs were recorded with 0.4.0; the comparison and full-source screenshots below are from 0.5.0. They show earlier versions. The new branch navigation, dropdown controls, and dynamic graph alignment in 0.6.0 were checked in real DSH; see the fix and validation record.

What's new in 0.6.2

• Target DSH 0.2.2-rc.1 and Node.js 24.9+. The installed plugin was checked in a real DSH Host and sidebar; see the validation record.

What's new in 0.6.1

• Update the DSH runtime and peer dependencies to 0.2.1-rc.5 and Cordis to 4.0.5. This release targets that runtime. Restart DSH after updating.

What's new in 0.6.0

• Select a local or remote branch to focus its history and locate its tip, without checking it out. Branches, filters, and settings open from the top bar as dropdowns.
• Keep graph nodes aligned while commit details, file diffs, and uncommitted changes expand or collapse. Cancel obsolete reads when switching or closing views; load tag/stash metadata only when opened.
• Show when search stops at its 2,000-commit budget, preserve comma-containing references, use native Git branch patterns, and include file type changes. Root and subdirectory sessions share repository settings.

See the 0.6.0 release notes for fixes and upgrade details.

Features

• History — Commit topology, branches, tags, HEAD, search, and history filters.
• Branch navigation — Search local/remote branches in the branch dropdown, focus one branch, and locate its latest commit without changing the working tree.
• Commit details — Inline details with author/committer dates, parents, references, signature status, and copying.
• References — Every reference on a commit is shown; matching local/remote labels combine, chips wrap onto another line, and the row height follows. Two alternative layouts remain.
• File changes — File tree/list views, per-file diffs, and uncommitted changes; select two commits and open each changed file's diff.
• Historical source — Read and copy the complete text of an old or new file version, with its path, commit hash, line numbers, and size.
• Messages & authors — Commit messages with links, bold, italic, and inline code; real author avatars from GitHub, Gravatar, and the repository's own Git service (Gitea/Gogs).
• Display settings — Resizable columns, date display options, compact rows, line styles, and colour presets, saved per repository.
• Interface — Chinese/English, light/dark themes, pane fullscreen, and narrow-screen support.

Install or update

Requires DSH 0.2.2-rc.1, Node.js 24.9+, the dsh CLI, pnpm for plugin installation, and Git installed on the DSH Host.

Install the prebuilt v0.6.2 Release package through either DSH's plugin page or the CLI. Both accept the same package source. See the official plugin manager guide and packaging guide.

In DSH, open Plugins → Add plugin, paste this URL, install it, and choose Enable now:

https://github.com/WhitePlusMS/dsh-git-graph/releases/download/v0.6.2/dsh-git-graph-0.6.2.tgz

Or install from the terminal:

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/WhitePlusMS/dsh-git-graph/releases/download/v0.6.2/dsh-git-graph-0.6.2.tgz

The archive includes the built lib/ entry points. You do not need to clone this repository, build it locally, or keep a development folder at a fixed path.

This .tgz is built with pnpm pack and uploaded as a GitHub Release asset; it is separate from GitHub's automatically generated source archives. DSH supports installing this package URL in both the UI and CLI. Publishing a release does not automatically list the plugin in a marketplace; installing by package name alone requires an npm publication.

Name note. The npm package named dsh-git-graph is a different, unrelated plugin (author enoughpower, version 0.1.x, with staging and commit features). This project is installed from the Release archive above; dsh-git-graph is used here only as the DSH bundle row id and the package name inside this repository.

Check that dsh-git-graph is installed at version 0.6.2:

dsh plugin --profile web list dsh-git-graph

Start DSH Web with dsh web, or restart your existing instance to load the plugin. For updates, run add with the desired release tag, then restart that instance. Use the same profile name for installation, startup, and removal.

For 0.6.0, restart after updating so the Host and Client use the same strict data contract. Settings previously saved separately for a subdirectory are not migrated to the worktree-root settings.

For a custom profile, local .tgz installation, or source builds, see the development guide.

Usage

1. Select a workspace in DSH Web and open the right sidebar.
2. Select dsh-git-graph from the sidebar's start page.
3. Select a commit for inline details, or a file for its diff. Select Uncommitted Changes to inspect working-tree changes.
4. Choose Compare commit… and a base commit, then select a changed file. In a historical file viewer, switch between Diff and Full source, and choose the old or new version.

Use Settings to adjust the display. Settings are saved separately for each repository.

Real avatars are enabled by default and access external avatar services: GitHub repositories search public commits by author email; other repositories ask their own Git service first (Gitea/Gogs /avatar endpoint) and then Gravatar; GitHub noreply addresses resolve directly. You can disable them in Settings; missing images or failed requests retain initials.

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-git-graph

Use the profile you installed into, and restart it after removal.

Keyboard controls

FAQ

How do I view commits and file diffs in DeepSeek Harness Web?

Install the plugin for DSH 0.2.2-rc.1, then open dsh-git-graph from the native right sidebar. See Usage for two-commit comparisons and full historical source.

Why does DSH report cannot resolve profile bundle "dsh-git-graph"?

A previous local-directory installation may still link to a folder that was moved or deleted. Reinstall the Release package in the same profile; removing it first also lets DSH register the bundle again if the old installation was no longer enabled:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-git-graph
dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/WhitePlusMS/dsh-git-graph/releases/download/v0.6.2/dsh-git-graph-0.6.2.tgz

Restart that DSH Web instance afterward. Running dsh plugin --profile web install alone reuses the saved package source and cannot repair a link to a missing folder.

Is dsh-git-graph on npm?

No. The npm package with this name belongs to a different project by another author. Install this plugin from the Release archive URL shown above; dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-git-graph (a bare package name) would resolve to that other project.

Is this the same as other DSH Git plugins?

No. Plugins such as kp-z/dsh-dev-git-graph, lengmoXXL/dsh-git, EasyTZ/dsh-git, and LeonZ666/dsh-gitworktree-gui are independent projects. This one is a read-only Git Graph for the native right sidebar, installed only from this repository's Releases.

Do I need an API key or a conversation message?

No. Git Graph reads the current workspace's local Git data directly.

Can Git Graph commit, merge, push, pull, or fetch?

No. The plugin is read-only; refreshing the graph does not fetch remote changes or modify the repository.

Scope

• Initially loads 100 commits, with manual loading up to 500. Search scans up to 2,000 commits and shows a warning when earlier history remains unscanned; Find searches loaded results. Reference-type filters show commits directly carrying the selected kind of label.
• Historical file viewers provide unified diffs and full text up to 1 MiB per file. Binary and oversized files show their status; text is not truncated and presented as complete. Renamed, added, and deleted files use the available version and corresponding path.
• Side-by-side diffs, syntax highlighting, tag signature verification, and stash diffs are not available. Tag/stash entries provide summaries and copying.
