Hi all,

I am maintaining a software repo and upgrading it by manually run git-tag. However, it bothers me a lot that sometimes I upgraded tag, but forgot updating the output of software `version` command. So I go for git-hooks, but do not find such one.

I wonder if this case (no pre-tag/post-tag hook) is by purpose, or just nobody implements it? Or maybe there are some other sorts of solutions?

Thanks in advance, RocketDev
