Why this plugin exists

WSL agents already have dsh-wsl-cred (cred_hint) for git push credentials. They still need the GitHub API for “what PRs are open?” and “did CI pass?”—without dumping a PAT into chat.

This plugin mints a short-lived GitHub App installation token in memory. Tool output never includes the private key, JWT, or token. Pair with dsh-wsl-browser (win_open_url) to open returned html_urls on Windows.

It is intentionally small. It is not a 40-tool GitHub connector.

How it fits dsh-wsl-kit

DSH in WSL + Chat in a Windows browser is the kit’s home turf. GitHub work splits across plugins:

Job	Plugin	Tool
Push / HTTPS credentials	dsh-wsl-cred	cred_hint
API: open PRs + latest Actions	this plugin	github_app_hint, github_repo_status
Open PR / Actions in Windows	dsh-wsl-browser	win_open_url
Proxy / Node 24 fetch issues	dsh-wsl-net	net_doctor

Why the kit path is convenient

• One install pack (dsh-wsl-kit / install.sh) instead of ad-hoc PAT wiring.
• Secrets stay on disk under ~/.dsh/ and in process memory—not in Trajectory.
• Same mental model as the rest of the kit: small tools, clear OS boundary.
• Enough of a real GitHub App integration to join the GitHub Developer Program.

Suite overview: dsh-wsl-kit README.

Tools

Tool	Role
github_app_hint	Whether App credentials / ~/.dsh/dsh-wsl-github.env exist (existence only), setup + role split vs cred/ssh/win_open_url (no secrets)
github_repo_status	Open PRs (up to 5) + latest Actions run. repo optional; default is git origin

After configuring the env file, self-check with github_app_hint (no live App e2e in CI — needs your PEM).

End-to-end usage (WSL)

1. Install the plugin (with the kit or alone):

dsh plugin --profile web add github:173787247/dsh-wsl-github

2. Register the GitHub App once (permissions are pre-filled from github-app-manifest.json):

npm run register-app

On GitHub: keep or rename the app → Create GitHub App. The script writes App ID + PEM to ~/.dsh/ and does not print secrets.

Permission	Access	Why
Metadata	Read	Repo name, default branch
Pull requests	Read	List open PRs
Actions	Read	Latest workflow run
Webhook	Off	This plugin polls the API; it does not receive events
Install scope	Private app (public: false)	Install on your account while developing

3. Install the App on your GitHub account (link printed by the script, or apps/dsh-wsl-github). Choose All repositories or only the repos you need.

4. Load env before dsh web (WSL / bash):

set -a
source "$HOME/.dsh/dsh-wsl-github.env"
set +a
dsh web

Windows PowerShell (if you start DSH from Windows):

Get-Content "$HOME\.dsh\dsh-wsl-github.env" | ForEach-Object {
  if ($_ -match '^(GITHUB_[A-Z_]+)=(.*)$') { Set-Item -Path "Env:$($matches[1])" -Value $matches[2] }
}

5. Open a new session. Ask the agent:

   • “Run github_app_hint.”
   • “Run github_repo_status for this repo.”
   • “Open that html_url with win_open_url.”

If HTTPS to GitHub fails, run net_doctor. If git push fails, run cred_hint—that is a different problem from this plugin.

Manual App creation (no script): Register a GitHub App, Homepage https://github.com/173787247/dsh-wsl-kit, same permissions as the table, webhook off, then:

export GITHUB_APP_ID=123456
export GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH="$HOME/.dsh/dsh-wsl-github.pem"

GITHUB_TOKEN / GH_TOKEN is a last-resort smoke-test fallback, not the intended auth.

Optional: after the App can call the API, join the Developer Program at github.com/developer/register (product website can be this kit or plugin repo URL).

Config

- id: dsh-wsl-github
  name: dsh-wsl-github
  config:
    timeoutMs: 20000
    appId: ""
    privateKeyPath: ""
    installationId: ""

Empty strings mean “read from env”. A later profile config object replaces the whole block.

Test
