I have a Makefile setup that I use to return the latest git tag/commit from within my program. The setup is as below:


````
VERSIONED_LIB = myversion.d && rm -f myversion.d
VERSION_STRING ?= $(shell git rev-parse --short HEAD)

makeVersion:
	echo "module compileConfig; public string versionString = \"$(VERSION_STRING)\";" > myversion.d;

mysoftware: makeVersion
	dmd -de -O /* compiler flags */ source/myprogrma.d myversion.d
	rm -f myversion.d
````

When i run `make mysoftware` my binary now contains the latest git commit HASH, which i use for debugging.

How can i mimic the same setup i dub? Is there an alternative to achieve the same goal?

One minor addition. I use the Makefile in our CI tool, that inserts  auto-increment numbers in place of git hashes. Numbers are a familiar. Ex:

make VERSION_STRING=v%build.number%;
make screener-d-debug VERSION_STRING=v%build.number%;

Can i insert a version number when i run dub?

You can do it by using `preBuildCommands` in dub.sdl, see http://code.dlang.org/package-format?lang=sdl

I don't know about passing from cli, but you can redirect output to some .d file and import it, for example.
