Description

Hello,
can we add an option to the command line app get the version? Also, I think it would be useful if it is shown on the gui.
I mostly just use the spotlight search on osx to open the projectGenerator and it does not tell me about the version and location. So I am never sure version I am using.
I think showing this on the gui would be very useful for referencing, especially for forum posts.
Can this be automated to show the current tag/commit?
What do you think about adding a version option?
Thomas

Research direction

Start with the command-line app and GUI entry points to determine how the project version is currently defined and displayed. Add a version option to the CLI and show the version and location in the GUI, using the current tag or commit where appropriate. Done means users can identify the running version from both interfaces.
