# rustc_tools_util A small tool to help you generate version information for packages installed from a git repo ## Usage Add a `build.rs` file to your repo and list it in `Cargo.toml` ````toml build = "build.rs" ```` List rustc_tools_util as regular AND build dependency. ````toml [dependencies] rustc_tools_util = "0.3.0" [build-dependencies] rustc_tools_util = "0.3.0" ```` In `build.rs`, generate the data in your `main()` ```rust fn main() { rustc_tools_util::setup_version_info!(); } ``` Use the version information in your main.rs ```rust fn show_version() { let version_info = rustc_tools_util::get_version_info!(); println!("{}", version_info); } ``` This gives the following output in clippy: `clippy 0.1.66 (a28f3c8 2022-11-20)` ## Repository This project is part of the rust-lang/rust-clippy repository.
