Printing git version from my deal.ii-based code

[Praveen C]

Dear all

I have my deal.II based application code under git.

Is there a way to print the git version from my deal.II code ?

Something like this

https://github.com/smessmer/gitversion

but I couldnt get that to work. My knowledge of cmake almost zero. Any suggestions ?

Best

There are some macros: https://www.dealii.org/developer/doxygen/deal.II/revision_8h.html#a6a61bbd5c9074273a721450df150d9f5. You can use it like this: https://github.com/hyperdeal/hyperdeal/blob/60091feb59f98789bc082395150c7537f6b3dc07/examples/vlasov_poisson/vlasov_poisson.cc#L228-L231

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot. That gives me the deal.II git version.

Is there a way to put the git version of my application code also ?

I suppose this has to be done to cmake stage I suppose.

Thanks

I am doing in a project like this: https://github.com/hyperdeal/hyperdeal/blob/0d1529484306b034e442d79ab85ae7dbe8815e63/CMakeLists.txt#L61-L67. But I can imagine that there are better approaches.
