# Example
Prints the version or a nice message
# Build
Typically the developer would perform these steps
and then commit the results (`go.mod`, `go.sum`, `vendor`).
However, since this is an example within the project directory,
that seemed a little redundant.
```bash
go mod tidy
go mod vendor
```
These are the instructions that someone cloning the repo might use.
```bash
go generate -mod=vendor ./...
go build -mod=vendor -o hello *.go
```
Note: If the source is distributed in a non-git tarball then
`generated-version.go` will not be output, and whatever
version info is in `package main` will remain as-is.
If you would prefer the build process to fail (i.e. in a CI/CD pipeline),
you can set the environment variable `GITVER_FAIL=true`.
