+Run the `bump-version` script with arguments according to your need:
+- `--bump=patch` to increment patch version, or
+- `--stable` to indicate this is a stable version, or
+- `--version={version}` to set version number directly.
+
+**Note**: you can use both `--bump` and `--stable` simultaneously.
+
+There is also a `dry-run` flag you can use to make sure the version number generated is correct before committing.

-npm run bump-version -- patch
+npm run bump-version -- --bump=patch --stable
