A small tool to help you generate version information for packages installed from a git repo

Add a build.rs file to your repo and list it in Cargo.toml

build = "build.rs"

List rustc_tools_util as regular AND build dependency.

[dependencies]
rustc_tools_util = "0.4.0"

[build-dependencies]
rustc_tools_util = "0.4.0"

In build.rs, generate the data in your main()

fn main() {
    rustc_tools_util::setup_version_info!();
}

Use the version information in your main.rs

fn show_version() {
    let version_info = rustc_tools_util::get_version_info!();
    println!("{}", version_info);
}

This gives the following output in clippy: clippy 0.1.66 (a28f3c8 2022-11-20)

This project is part of the rust-lang/rust-clippy repository. The source code can be found under ./rustc_tools_util/.
