Git version in Python
#!/usr/bin/env python
""" Git Versioning Script
Will transform stdin to expand some keywords with git version/author/date information.
Specify --clean to remove this information before commit.
Setup:
1. Copy versioning.py into your git repository
2. Run:
git config filter.versioning.smudge 'python versioning.py'
git config filter.versioning.clean 'python versioning.py --clean'
echo 'version.py filter=versioning' >> .gitattributes
git add versioning.py
3. add a version.py file with this contents:
__version__ = ""
__author__ = ""
__email__ = ""
__date__ = ""
