Versioning

A library to make set/get/writing versioning information easier.

Installation

Use go get:

go get -u github.com/tonglil/versioning

Usage

1. Add in main.go:

   var version string
   
   func init() {
       versioning.Set(version)
   }
   

2. Where you want to get the version:

   version := versioning.Get()
   // or
   versioning.Write(os.Stdout)
   

3. Build your binary with this flag:

   go build -ldflags "-X main.version=123-up-to-you"
   

Development

Roadmap:

• Checking new versions
  • Possibly use semver: https://github.com/hashicorp/go-version or https://github.com/blang/semver
• Self-upgrading binary
