semver

Semver is a command line tool that stands for semantic versioning. It provides a simple and efficient way to work with version numbers in a consistent and meaningful manner. The tool allows developers to manage versioning for software projects easily. Semver follows a specified scheme for version numbers consisting of three parts: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. MAJOR version is incremented for incompatible API changes, MINOR version is incremented for backward-compatible functionality additions, and PATCH version is incremented for backward-compatible bug fixes. The tool supports various operations, including comparing and sorting version numbers, incrementing version numbers, and checking version compatibility. Semver makes it easier to work with version numbers across different platforms and programming languages. It can be integrated into build processes, continuous integration pipelines, and version control systems to automate version management. The tool provides a clear and consistent way to communicate changes to users or other developers through version numbers. By adhering to semantic versioning principles, Semver promotes compatibility, stability, and predictability in software development.
