Please add --version information in tdrop

[c02y]

I notice that there is version for tdrop: Update changelog and documentation and bump version to 0.5.0

I don't install tdrop using package manager or makefile, I simply copy the tdrop script into my PATH.

I notice that there no version information inside the tdrop file. So I don't know whether my tdrop needs update to the version in this repo.

Usually I download/save the tdrop file into my local disk and diffs the two files to check if my old tdrop needs updates.

So please add --version to store the version information since tdrop has a version.

So I don't know whether my tdrop needs update to the version in this repo.

Even if I added a --version flag, you wouldn't be abe to know if things had changed without a separate check because I'm not tagging every commit. Some software can show the commit hash in the --version output (by getting/setting it at build time), but that's not possible here if you're just downloading the tdrop file.

It would be much simpler for you to just clone the repo somewhere, add it to your path, and just run git pull to get any updates. Even better to follow the suggested installation instructions and run sudo make install afterwards so you get an up-to-date manpage and don't need to alter your path.

Sure, I can use a workaround.

Even though you don't have to tag every commit, I only need to sync my local tdrop to the release/tag version instead of the very latest commit.

Even without my personal request, I still think it is better to provide a built-in version number for tdrop.

If you think providing a version number in tdrop file is a bad idea or totally unnecessary, you can simply close this issue.
