Further Information

Easy way to disable problem is not to use helm-docs.versionFooter at all, but I hope I can continue giving credit to this amazing project

Not a bug, it's that the version isn't set when you install this way. I've investigated if it would be possible to do this, but I haven't found a way to set build arguments as part of the build that is run when you run go install.
