Versioning

[samuong]

Alpaca releases should be given a version number and this version should be made visible via a -version flag and/or printed in the logs.

There is currently no concept of a "release" in Alpaca, so resolving this issue would require a build/release pipeline to be set up.

git describe --tags | head -1 will give you latest release tag on the current cloned repo. If you are using macos you can get the version number with the following variable substitution in KSH.

VER=`git describe --tags | head -1`
VER=${VER#v}
VER=${VER%-*-*}

This seems to indicate that versioning is happening around go modules automatically without there being explicit code - https://go.dev/blog/publishing-go-modules
