Semantic Versioning

Understanding Semantic Versioning (often abbreviated as SemVer) is crucial for modern software development, especially when it comes to managing dependencies and communicating changes effectively. Semantic Versioning provides a clear and consistent way to increment version numbers, making it easier for developers to understand the nature of changes in a project.

This chapter will explore the principles of Semantic Versioning, its structure, real-world applications, and best practices to ensure you can confidently implement it in your Git workflows.
