Getting git version information in your C# code

Read Original

This technical article explains how to use the GitInfo library, a source generator for C#, to automatically embed Git metadata (such as commit hash, latest tag, and semantic version) as compile-time constants. It demonstrates accessing this information via a generated `ThisAssembly.Git` object, discusses the build-time impact, and highlights benefits like not shipping a separate dependency.
