Add a --version flag
stagnation opened this issue · comments
Hi!
I am a happy user, mainly for Bazel work, but have been very pleased with the release of Buck2.
Now I find myself with multiple builds of the program as I try to follow the new features as they land in here,
rather than wait for official releases of the cargo package.
Each time I rebase though I find myself typing starlark --version, and realize that it does not tell me a version.
That said, I'm a happy mono-repo developer and mostly live at head, and I know of the headache build stamping leads to.
But I feel that a version flag would still be useful,a stamped shaid and the commit date would be nice.
I think this is probably a issue request for https://github.com/facebook/buck2? I imagine you want to do buck2 --version?
No actually it is the starlark interpreter, and the LSP, in particular.
I use it for all my .bzl and BUILD files in my bazel projects.
I'm convinced it is even better if I had a buck2 project.
But it is very useful for bazel as is, and has more checks that buildifier, dead code and such.
I have my editor setup to use both starlark and buildifier as LSPs.
buck2 already has it, and I envision something similar.
$ buck2 --version
