Show HN: Doxxer – CLI tool for dynamic SemVer versioning using tags

Hi, first time poster here!
Wanted to share a small CLI utility in Rust: doxxer!
It is a tool for working with Git repositories, more specifically, extracting and calculating current/upcoming semantic versions for your repo's tags.
It is heavily inspired by the output from "git describe --tags".
Why use anything else then? The output is not fully SemVer compliant and therefore I was modifying it in all my projects separately, which I wanted to avoid. Single binary, single predictable output.
It does not currently have pre-built binaries, so you have to install it via cargo, but it's in the roadmap!

> Why is the project called doxxer? Because it's like somebody who doxes, by exposing the version information about Git repo to you!
