What is Semantic Versioning?

Semantic Versioning (SemVer) is a versioning scheme (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) where changes convey meaning about the underlying code changes. Major for breaking changes, Minor for new features, and Patch for bug fixes.

What are Conventional Commits?

It's a specification for formatting commit messages. Example: 'feat: add new login page' or 'fix: resolve crash on startup'.

Does this tool support breaking changes?

Yes! If you add '!' after the type (e.g., 'feat!: remove old api') or include 'BREAKING CHANGE' in the footer, it detects a Major breaking change.

What is a pre-release version?

A pre-release version indicates that the version is unstable. It is denoted by appending a hyphen and identifiers like 'alpha', 'beta', or 'rc' (e.g., 1.0.0-alpha.1).
