####Versioning

Versioning in Git Best Practices

# Start with the develop branch
git checkout develop

# Create a release branch for version 1.0.0
git checkout -b release/1.0.0

# Make all changes ...

# After final changes are made and tested, merge the release branch into main
git checkout main
git merge --no-ff release/1.0.0

# Tag the release version
git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release version 1.0.0"

# Push the changes and tag
git push origin main
git push origin v1.0.0

# Merge the release branch back into develop to keep it up to date
git checkout develop
git merge --no-ff release/1.0.0

# Delete the release branch
git branch -d release/1.0.0
