Injecting project versions into builds

Read Original

This article provides a detailed technical tutorial on automatically injecting a project's version string into application binaries. It explains how to use git's export-subst feature for source tarballs and git-describe for builds from a full repository checkout, using a Rust build script as a practical example. The method ensures consistent version reporting (e.g., for --version flags) across different build environments.
