Eric Amodio

Hi.

I'm Eric Amodio — an entrepreneur, innovator, leader, architect, and full-stack developer. My passion lies with dreaming up new ideas and bringing them to life through code. I thrive on challenges and solving complex problems, while also ensuring that the challenges accepted and solutions devised are always made with an eye on the bigger picture — the user experience. I pride myself with the ability of being able to see the forest for the trees, as well as being able to dive deeply into the details. I take great care in the experience, architecture, and code of the products that I build.

I ❤ open-source — both building and contributing. I love the collaboration and the sharing of knowledge driven by the open-source movement. It is a wonderful and exciting time to be a developer.

My favorite technologies currently are TypeScript, Node.js, and .NET Core. My favorite editor is Visual Studio Code.

When I'm not coding ¹ or keeping up with the latest technologies, you will find me spending time with my wife, two kids, and dog. I also love traveling, hiking, camping and diving.

To my incredible backers — thank you so much for your contributions. I am truly humbled by your generosity and support.

GitLens supercharges the Git capabilities built into Visual Studio Code. It helps you to visualize code authorship at a glance via Git blame annotations and code lens, seamlessly navigate and explore Git repositories, gain valuable insights via powerful comparison commands, and so much more.

GitLens is an open-source extension I created for Visual Studio Code.

GitLens simply helps you better understand code. Quickly glimpse into whom, why, and when a line or code block was changed. Jump back through history to gain further insights as to how and why the code evolved. Effortlessly explore the history and evolution of a codebase.

Read the reviews to see what people are saying about GitLens. I am truly humbled by the love and support of the Visual Studio Code community.

Supporting GitLens

While GitLens is generously offered to everyone free of charge, if you find it useful, please consider supporting it.

Also please write a review, star or fork me on GitHub, and follow me on Twitter.

I've been building GitLens in my “spare”¹ time for well over 2 years now. From its very humble beginnings, GitLens has grown wildly beyond my expectations — in both its reach as well as its demands on my time and attention.

To my incredible backers — thank you so much for your contributions. I am truly humbled by your generosity and support.
