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.
go mod tidy
go mod vendor
These are the instructions that someone cloning the repo might use.
go generate -mod=vendor ./...
go build -mod=vendor -o hello *.go
./hello
./hello --version
Note: If the source is distributed in a non-git tarball then
version-generated.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.
