Crate git_version 

Embed git information in your code at compile-time.

use git_version::git_version;
const GIT_VERSION: &str = git_version!();

The version number will have a -modified suffix if your git worktree had untracked or changed files.

These macros do not depend on libgit, but simply uses the git binary directly. So you must have git installed somewhere in your PATH.

You can also get the version information for all submodules:

use git_version::git_submodule_versions;
const GIT_SUBMODULE_VERSIONS: &[(&str, &str)] = &git_submodule_versions!();

for (path, version) in GIT_SUBMODULE_VERSIONS {
    println!("{path}: {version}");
}
