Include build data in your program.

# Features
- Saves build-time data:
  - Git commit, branch, and dirtiness
  - Source modification date & time
  - Rustc version
  - Rust channel (stable, nightly, or beta)
- Does all of its work in your
  [`build.rs`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html).
- Sets environment variables.
  Use [`env!`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/macro.env.html) to use them
  in your program.
- No macros
- No runtime dependencies
- Light build dependencies
- `forbid(unsafe_code)`
- 100% test coverage

# Alternatives
- Environment variables that cargo sets for crates:
  - `CARGO_PKG_NAME`
  - `CARGO_PKG_VERSION`
  - `CARGO_BIN_NAME`
  - [others](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html#environment-variables-cargo-sets-for-crates)
- [`vergen`](https://crates.io/crates/vergen)
  - Mature & very popular
  - Good API, needs only `env!` to retrieve values
  - Excellent test coverage
  - Heavy build dependencies
- [`build-info`](https://crates.io/crates/build-info)
  - Mature
  - Confusing API
  - Uses procedural macros

# Example

```toml
// Cargo.toml
[dependencies]

[build-dependencies]
build-data = "0"
```

Add a [`build.rs`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html)
file next to your `Cargo.toml`.
Call [`build_data::set_*`](https://docs.rs/build-data/) functions to
set variables.
```rust
// build.rs

fn main() {
    build_data::set_GIT_BRANCH();
    build_data::set_GIT_COMMIT();
    build_data::set_GIT_DIRTY();
    build_data::set_SOURCE_TIMESTAMP();
    build_data::no_debug_rebuilds();
}
```

Use [`env!`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/macro.env.html) to access the
variables in your program:
```rust
// src/bin/main.rs
fn main() {
    // Built from branch=release
    // commit=a5547bfb1edb9712588f0f85d3e2c8ba618ac51f
    // dirty=false
    // source_timestamp=2021-04-14T06:25:59+00:00
    println!("Built from branch={} commit={} dirty={} source_timestamp={}",
        env!("GIT_BRANCH"),
        env!("GIT_COMMIT"),
        env!("GIT_DIRTY"),
        env!("SOURCE_TIMESTAMP"),
    );
}
```

# Cargo Geiger Safety Report
```

Metric output format: x/y
    x = unsafe code used by the build
    y = total unsafe code found in the crate

Symbols:
    🔒  = No `unsafe` usage found, declares #![forbid(unsafe_code)]
    ❓  = No `unsafe` usage found, missing #![forbid(unsafe_code)]
    ☢️  = `unsafe` usage found
