You can use go:generate and go:embed to achieve this. In our CI/CD pipeline we generate a json file with a lot of information like vcs, branch, tag, date and time, hash and a lot more. Then we embed this json into the binary.
I became aware of this technique from https://levelup.gitconnected.com/a-better-way-than-ldflags-to-add-a-build-version-to-your-go-binaries-2258ce419d2d?gi=c2bc81346d42 .
