• versioninfo

  6 234 3.7 Go

  Importable package that parses version info from debug.ReadBuildInfo().

I use this trick in my versioninfo package. Obviously, it can't give you other tags, but most of the time the tag you want to know about is v1.2.3 anyway, and since tags are mutable but the Go sum DB is immutable, this is safer than just saying what tag was on disk at build time.
