how to include build information in the executable [golang] [makefile]

main.go

package main

import "fmt"

var (
	buildBranch      = "UNKNOWN"
	buildCommit      = "UNKNOWN"
	buildCommitShort = "UNKNOWN"
	buildDate        = "UNKNOWN"
	buildRepo        = "UNKNOWN"
	buildVersion     = "UNKNOWN"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("branch:", buildBranch)
	fmt.Println("commit:", buildCommit)
	fmt.Println("commit short:", buildCommitShort)
	fmt.Println("build time:", buildDate)
	fmt.Println("repo:", buildRepo)
	fmt.Println("version:", buildVersion)
}
