Description, motivation and use case
When doing a development installation it is difficult to know which version of the code you have installed since the version number is the same as the latest release on pypi.
Proposed solution
Configure hatch to add git information into the version so you get a version number including the commit number when installing a developer version.
This seems to be the way to do it but I haven't tried dynamic versioning in hatch before: https://github.com/ofek/hatch-vcs
Describe alternatives you've considered
If it's difficult to do with hatch we can switch to building with poetry or uv where this is easy to configure.
