Add --version flag to both CLI entry points

[Hell1213]

Description

Both oss-dev (Click) and oss-dev-new (Typer) CLI entry points currently lack a --version flag. Add a --version flag that prints the current package version (v0.2.0) and exits.

Tasks

• Add --version option to the Click CLI in main.py
• Add --version option to the Typer CLI in src/oss_dev/cli/app.py
• Use the version string from src/oss_dev/_version.py

Skills Required

• Python
• Click CLI framework
• Typer CLI framework

Difficulty

Beginner-level1

Hi @Hell1213,

I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC.

I reviewed the requirement and my planned approach is:

• Inspect the existing Click CLI entry point in main.py
• Inspect the Typer CLI entry point in src/oss_dev/cli/app.py
• Import/use the version string from src/oss_dev/_version.py
• Add a --version option to the legacy oss-dev Click CLI
• Add a --version option to the modern oss-dev-new Typer CLI
• Ensure both commands print the same package version and exit cleanly
• Keep the existing CLI behavior unchanged for all other commands
• Add or update tests if the repo has CLI test coverage
• Verify both entry points locally after the change

I will keep the PR focused only on adding version flag support.

Please assign this issue to me if this approach looks good and it is still available.
