Expose Build Info

it would be cool if lovr.getVersion() returned the branch and build time those might be useful on the error screen/error printout too

Branch? Commit hash? Date/time? Commit message?!

lovr.getVersion? lovr.getBuildInfo?

i like that hashes are short and easy to recognize, but there's a couple downsides

  • you gotta copy and paste them, because they're hard to remember and write
  • they're not sequential, so you gotta look at git/hub to see how old your version is

i think my ideal would be like "0.16.dev.2023-09-25" or shorten it by rolling over months, "0.16.dev.2125"

Running git describe in lovr's repo prints v0.16.0-541-gc0fb: the last tagged version, the number of changes since then, plus the hash. (Jotting this down here). Also, if you're on exactly the tagged version, it will just print v0.16.0 which is kinda cool.

lovr.getVersion and lovr --version now include the git hash as a 5th return, when built by GH actions.
