How to generate new version

Let's say current version is v1.0.0 and you can set type equal to one of these values

• MAJOR: It is a major change to your software which may not be compatible with older releases. The new version will be v3.0.0
• MINOR: The change is smaller and adds new features to an existing project but still compatible with the current version. The new version is v1.1.0
• PATCH: There is a bug fix without introducing new features. The new version is v1.0.1
