You'll definitively need this version to extract the zip archive, but
you can store this in another variable in your slackbuild like 

ZIPVER="1369d247e3d2bc697892795dea8cc1713344749f"

for the version I'd either go with the date like 220319 if there aren't
multiple commits on that date, or with the short-hash of git:

git rev-parse --short 1369d247e3d2bc697892795dea8cc1713344749f

(you need to clone the git repository and execute this). You also
find the short hash in the github UI, but it's hard to explain in a
mail :)

Cheers
