Mybuild

Small library to generate OCaml file with the project version extracted from git + command-line utility to do the same.

How to use

Add the file gen_version.ml in your project:

let () = Mybuild.Version.save Sys.argv.(1)

Add the following rules in dune:

(executable (name gen_version) (libraries mybuild) (modules gen_version))

(rule (target version.ml) (deps (universe)) (action (run ./gen_version.exe %{target})))

Then use Version.id in your program as needed.
