	export VERSION=$(git rev-list -1 HEAD)
	# Following command is used to build a Go program with custom values set for variables at compile time
	go build -ldflags "-X main.VERSION=$VERSION" gitVersion.go

	In one line:
	export VERSION=$(git rev-list -1 HEAD) && go build -ldflags "-X main.VERSION=$VERSION" gitVersion.go                                                                                                                  │

	./gitVersion version
