A go library for generate version information for your application.
version module provides some API to help Go Application get it's version
with zero-cost.
After Go 1.15, version information for applications written in Go is available from its own binary. This is a very useful feature, but I've noticed that almost no one in the community at large uses it.
I think this is probably because runtime/debug.BuildInfo is harder to use directly, and the community doesn't have a ready-made library to simplify this. So I wrote this module to help people easily get the version information of their Go programs. Of course, based on the go module version control policy and semantic version.
