Manual versioning

Versioning your app/package is usually done in the CI. In case you're in a situation where you don't have access to the CI, you can use the following commands to bump the version.

Be sure to have the latest commit in your main by running git pull
Bump the version by running npm changeset version. This will...
- Bump the version in package.json
- Create or update the CHANGELOG.md file
Commit the changes. Preferably, use a semantic commit message.
- git commit -m "chore(release): version application"
Push the changes to the remote repository
Switch to production branch and rebase it from main.
Push the changes to the remote repository.
And your done!
