git-build-version

Makes it easy to include a version (as provided by git describe) in your crate. For example:

In Cargo.toml:

``` [package] name = "my-lovely-package"

...

build = "build.rs"

[build-dependencies] git-build-version = "*" ```

In build.rs:

``` extern crate gitbuildversion;

const PACKAGETOPDIR : &'static str = ".";

fn main() { gitversion::writeversion(PACKAGETOPDIR).expect("Saving git version"); } ```

This will write out a file named version.rs that can be included into your source as follows. Eg: in your src/main.rs:

``` include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/version.rs"));

fn main() { println!("Version: {}", VERSION); } ```
