GitLens will no longer be my spare-time project, it will be my full-time focus. Today, I’m happy to share some big news about the future of GitLens! GitKraken has acquired GitLens, and I will be joining GitKraken as the new Chief Technology Officer to lead the continued development of GitLens for VS Code users and GitKraken’s popular Git client for developers. I’m proud and truly humbled by the incredible evolution and adoption of GitLens these past 5 years, especially considering I’ve been the primary developer and maintainer in my spare time - my wife jokes about GitLens being my mistress □. What started as a simple prototype has evolved into a feature-rich product with a mission to help developers better understand code by unlocking the wealth of knowledge within each repository. GitLens has become the most popular Git extension for Visual Studio Code, with over 11 million active installs and 71 million downloads. It all started with a simple question: could I add Git insights via CodeLens (hence GitLens) to any document? Which of course was yes, and a whole lot more. I started developing GitLens way back in 2016 when I fell in love with Visual Studio Code and wanted to play with what was then newly released extension support. I’m an innovator, leader, architect, and seasoned full-stack developer. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Eric Amodio, creator of GitLens.
