+Versioning
+----------------------
+
+This project uses [`commitizen`](https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen) to manage versioning.
+The files where "version" will be updated are listed in the '.cz.toml' file. To create a new version and the associated tag,
+run the following commands:
+
+```shell
+# Install commitizen tool to environment
+make releases
+
+# Updates version; values for '--increment' can be MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH
+# Autocreates a tag and commit for the updated version
+cz bump  --increment MAJOR  --dry-run
+cz bump  --increment MAJOR
+```
