I am grateful to even be in a spot where I can ask you to help me do what I love, in the hope that this benefits you just as much.
Maybe one day writing and maintaining open source software can be my full-time occupation.

Here is what I am making…

  • gitoxide - all of Git in Rust for comfortable tooling and performance
  • dua - a tool to gauge disk usage, fast
  • GitPython - a widely used python library to interact with Git

…and many more.

A special thanks goes to Josh Triplett, my very first sponsor who started it all.
