A simple Go package to manage version information in your CLI applications using build-time flags.

This package uses Go's -ldflags to inject version information at build time. The version is stored in a package-level variable that can be set during compilation.

The GetVersion() function returns the version using this priority:

1. Version set via -ldflags at build time
2. Version from debug.ReadBuildInfo() (when using Go modules)
3. "unknown-local" as fallback for local development

package main

import "github.com/dev-services42/version"

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("Version: %s\n", version.GetVersion())
}

Use -ldflags to set the version at build time:

go build -ldflags "-X github.com/dev-services42/version.version=v1.2.3"
