What is the metadata hook for? #45

Closed flying-sheep closed 1 year ago

Does anything happen when you specify [tool.hatch.metadata.hooks.vcs] in addition to [tool.hatch.version] source = "vcs"?

When I leave out the metadata hook header, the built package’s metadata still contains a setuptools-scm generated version.

The metadata hook is for dynamically rendering scm data into projects metadata other than the version

Ah, got it! The examples kinda hint toward that, but it’s not outright stated. Maybe that should be added.
