gover - a version detector for Go packages
A simple tool that outputs the value of the constant (or variable) Version
defined in a given Go package.
Installation
$ go get github.com/bcandrea/gover
Usage
Example:
$ go get github.com/hashicorp/consul
$ gover github.com/hashicorp/consul
0.5.2
If supplied with a relative path (i.e. starting with "."), gover
will treat
the argument as a directory location and not a Go package name.
This is particularly useful during development, e.g. when the version number
needs to be included in the compilation output:
$ go build -o my-tool_$(gover .)
