# git-version.go
Use git tags to add semver to your go package.
> Goal: Either use an exact version like v1.0.0
> or translate the git version like v1.0.0-4-g0000000
> to a semver like v1.0.1-pre4+g0000000
>
> Fail gracefully when git repo isn't available.
# Demo
```bash
go run git.rootprojects.org/root/go-gitver
```
# Usage
See `examples/basic`
1. Create a `tools` package in your project
2. Guard it against regular builds with `// build +tools`
3. Include `_ "git.rootprojects.org/root/go-gitver"` in the imports
4. Declare `var GitRev, GitVersion, GitTimestamp string` in your `package main`
5. Include `//go:generate go run -mod=vendor git.rootprojects.org/root/go-gitver` as well
`tools/tools.go`:
```go
// build +tools
// This is a dummy package for build tooling
package tools
import (
_ "git.rootprojects.org/root/go-gitver"
)
```
`main.go`:
```go
//go:generate go run -mod=vendor git.rootprojects.org/root/go-gitver
package main
import "fmt"
var (
GitRev = "0000000"
GitVersion = "v0.0.0-pre0+g0000000"
GitTimestamp = "0000-00-00T00:00:00+0000"
)
func main() {
fmt.Println(GitRev)
fmt.Println(GitVersion)
fmt.Println(GitTimestamp)
}
```
# Behind the curtain
```bash
git describe --tags --dirty --always
# v1.0.0
# v1.0.0-1
git log --format='format:%cI' -n 1 --since=(git describe --tags --dirty --always)
git rev-parse HEAD
```
