Here’s a basic example using a shell script to automate this.\r\n\r\n### 1. Create a Shell Script\r\n\r\nCreate a script, for example, called `update-readme.sh`:\r\n\r\n```bash\r\n#!/bin/bash\r\n\r\n# Extract the Go version from go.mod\r\nGO_VERSION=$(grep '^go ' go.mod | awk '{print $2}')\r\n\r\n# Update README.md by replacing the placeholder or existing Go version\r\nsed -i \"\" -e \"s/Go Version: .*/Go Version: $GO_VERSION/\" README.md\r\n```\r\n\r\nThis script:\r\n- Reads the Go version from `go.mod`.\r\n- Updates `README.md` by finding a line containing \"Go Version:\" and replacing it with the current Go version.\r\n\r\n### 2. Use a Placeholder in README.md\r\n\r\nIn your `README.md`, set up a placeholder like this:\r\n\r\n```markdown\r\n# Project Title\r\n\r\nThis project uses:\r\n\r\n- **Go Version:** [dynamically set here]\r\n```\r\n\r\nRun the script to replace `[dynamically set here]` with the actual version.\r\n\r\n### 3. Automate the Update\r\n\r\nTo keep this up-to-date, you can add the script as a part of your build or CI pipeline, or run it manually whenever you update `go.mod`.\r\n\r\nLet me know if you’d like to automate this further!","author":{"url":"https://github.com/MSevey","@type":"Person","name":"MSevey"},"datePublished":"2024-11-14T19:22:11.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/21/.github/issues/21"}
