--version doesn't show the version

[TLINDEN]

This is just a minor annoyance :)

% gitu --version
gitu 32fde9c

While this is pretty good from a developer perspective, a user who wants to check if there's an update, needs to check git commits. I'd suggest something like this:

% gitu --version
gitu v0.26.0 (32fde9c)

That's peculiar, It's supposed to print either a version:

gitu on  master ❯ gitu --version
gitu v0.26.0

or if built from master, it should try describe the version

gitu on  master ❯ gitu --version
gitu v0.26.0-4-g93c3857

Where did you install it from?

Where did you install it from?

I installed a pre-compiled binary from the releases page.

Damn

Thought I had fixed it and released a v0.27.0
Turns out it fails to describe latest tag when running CI...

./gitu --version
gitu v0.26.0-8-g8300bd6

🤦

This was after adding:

gitu/.github/workflows/release.yml

Lines 98 to 99 in 8300bd6

	fetch-depth: 0 # Workaround to have a version set (gitu --version)
