What are the common mistakes in semantic versioning?

Common mistakes include not incrementing the version correctly, misunderstanding the significance of major vs. minor changes, and failing to update dependencies.

Can you give examples of when to increment the major version?

You should increment the major version when you make incompatible API changes, such as removing a feature or changing its behavior.

What about minor version increments?

Minor version increments are for adding functionality in a backward-compatible manner, like adding new features or enhancements.

Are there any tools to help with semantic versioning?

Yes, tools like SemVer, npm version, and versioning libraries can help automate and manage versioning effectively.
