govvv
A Go build wrapper that simplifies embedding version information into binaries using git metadata and version files.
What is govvv?
govvv is a command-line tool that wraps the `go build` command to automatically inject version information into Go binaries. It eliminates the complexity of manually managing `-ldflags` by extracting details from git repositories and version files, making it easier to track application builds.
Go developers who need to embed version metadata (like git commit, branch, and build date) into their compiled binaries without manually handling linker flags.
Developers choose govvv because it simplifies and automates version injection, reducing boilerplate and potential errors in build processes, while preserving existing `-ldflags` arguments and offering non-invasive integration options.
