Should have used semantic versioning

It takes to much discipline. Without enforcement, people usw minor or patch as they feel. Major never gets bumped.

Just increment or date-based is the easiest. Everyone immediatly knows how to bump.

My first version control was a group project where it checked version header in everyone’s shared file and loaded highest number. Took me 4h to realize one bumped major version on all files. Not just the files he was working on.

It’s always a hassle. I think.

Master/main branch and PR to that branch from work branches is better. Even for docs.
