Git workbench for the Hermes Dashboard and Desktop: discovers the git repositories under the folders you watch, and inspects or changes them per file — stage, unstage, diff and discard — plus commit, push, pull, branches, commits and worktrees.

## Good to know before installing

Reads the watch paths from its own SQLite table (under HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/project-manager) and git metadata (branch, remote, ahead/behind, commit subjects, status and diff text) from the repositories under them, and lists folder names under any path you type when adding a watch folder; file contents are read only as diff text returned to the requesting UI; the five agent tools are read-only. Writes on request only from the Dashboard/Desktop UI: git add, commit, push, stash (including stash -u before a branch switch), fetch, merge --ff-only (also as "pull all" across every watched repository), restore, clean -f, git switch, and git worktree remove (including --force and remove-all). Discard on a tracked file restores it from HEAD and drops the uncommitted edits; on a file in no commit (untracked or staged-new) it leaves the bytes on disk but nothing here can restore a version of it, and both sit behind a confirmation naming which one you are doing. The Desktop Chat button starts a new Hermes session whose working directory is that project's folder, and the project name and branch chip open the repository's remote URL in your system browser.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install project-manager
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable project-manager
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
