Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When running in cluster we should be able to clearly see the version of kor on startup

Describe the solution you'd like Print the version on startup e.g. v0.2.7

Sure.

Take a look at https://github.com/yonahd/kor/blob/main/pkg/utils/banner.go And https://github.com/yonahd/kor/blob/main/cmd/kor/root.go#L48

Hey, i just wanted to ask where can i get the current version number of kor running @yonahd

[yonahd]

This comes from the git tag. It would need to be embedded during build time possibly in the goreleaser https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/udhml7/best_way_to_embed_version_info_into_binary/?rdt=40697

Sorry, it is taking me some time, as i have some tests coming up in my class. I will try my best to fix the issue, i need some time

[yonahd]

No rush

@yonahd I plan to update the .goreleaser.yml to add

builds:
  - id: OS
    ldflags:
      - -X github.com/yonahd/kor/pkg/utils.version={{.Version}}
snapshot:
  name_template: "{{ .Version }}"

that way I guess I can access the version from the git tag Does this look good?

I wanted to ask where should I print the version and the format of it ?

I would need to test this. I want to add it in the utils just like the printing of the kor banner

[sidkhuntia]

is this formatting okay ?

[yonahd]

Perfect
