This plugin is the replacement for the old native VCS (Version Control System) support by MCreator.
After 3 years of being a part of the software, it looked like the remote workspaces system is not popular enough to keep it in the core for any longer. The reason for this may be the fact that the integration only supported a limited set of features the involved system (Git API) could offer. So, as the maintainers did not have the time to dedicate to it, the system was migrated to a Java plugin for it to gain a chance to get more features supported faster than if it was included in the core software.
The plugin can be installed in the 3rd snapshot of 2023.2 update and higher versions by anyone using the system in earlier releases, and there will be literally no change in the workspace.
Releases for older versions are available on plugin's GitHub page.

Hello, I have a problem
I installed the plugin and put it in the plugins file, but when i try to connect to a remote workspace, it always says "error, the remote repository is not a MCreator workspace or is corrupted" in all cases, even if it was created 5 min ago, and i can't understand how it could be corrupted. And I did everything good, I created a github repository and on mcreator i linked the mod to it.
Help please
You should just create the repository without adding any files or branches manually - in this case it would be empty. It's not possible to link existing local workspace to a non-empty remote repository (with at least one branch).
However, I don't remember the word "corrupt" being used in any of the plugin's messages.
Please consider opening a bug report on the issue tracker and providing more details there (the platform you're using, some screenshots or a video would be useful too).
It's been a while since the change was made, but thanks for keeping the remote workspace up as a plugin. We've had a mod in on and off development for a good while, so even if we never actually finish it, it's nice that we can still work on it while updating MCreator.
Where are you checking for it? The icon on the plugin's page is not used by MCreator (unless it adds a theme that uses the same icon).
The plugin file should be located in either "C:/Users/<user_name>/.mcreator/plugins/" or "<path_to_mcreator>/plugins/". If it is, MCreator would load it, or show versions mismatch warning or load error warning upon launch.
I recommend to go to the plugin's issue tracker and open a bug report there with also attaching a screenshot of such long window so I can see how to resolve this.
Meanwhile, you can try pressing "Esc" or rotating your screen (not the monitor) 90 degrees left or right so that it's high enough for the window to fit into it.
