Installation

git clone https://github.com/omdsh-dev/DSH-better-sidebar.git
cd DSH-better-sidebar
# follow the README for install steps

Most DeepSeek Harness plugins install as npm packages or DSH extensions. After installing, restart DSH so the plugin registers. If the project ships a desktop client or a plugin market, you can install it with one click instead.

Install and configure DSH-better-sidebar

# try the package directly if it is published
npx DSH-better-sidebar

# otherwise work from source
git clone https://github.com/omdsh-dev/DSH-better-sidebar.git
cd DSH-better-sidebar
npm install
npm run build

This is a TypeScript project. If DSH-better-sidebar is published on npm, npx is the fastest path. If it is not, build from source — most DSH plugins in this language expect a build step before the runtime can load them.

Configuration

// dsh.config.js — typical registration shape
export default {
  plugins: [
    // confirm the exact export name in the README before using this
    { name: "DSH-better-sidebar" },
  ],
};

Registration shapes vary between plugins. The snippet above shows the common case — " copy the exact name from the README rather than trusting this example verbatim.

Is it the right choice?

• Choose it if you want something established but not ubiquitous — 4,477 stars is enough for real usage, small enough that the maintainer still answers issues.
• Licensing is MIT, which is permissive enough to vendor into a commercial product without a legal review.
• Stack: written in TypeScript. If your team does not work in that language, every fix becomes a research task.

Things that commonly go wrong

• Version drift. DSH is young and moves fast. A plugin that worked three months ago may target an API that has since changed. Check the last commit date before you plan around it.
• No sandbox guarantee. Plugins run with the runtime's permissions. Read the source of anything that touches your filesystem, shell or API keys before installing it.
• Single maintainer risk. Most projects here are one person's side work. That is fine for a utility, risky for infrastructure you depend on.
