+## Automated Versioning with Bumpversion
+
+**Bumpversion** is a tool for automated version management in software projects. <br>
+It ensures consistent version updates across files and documentation. <br>
+By specifying a part to increment (major, minor, or patch), Bumpversion updates
+the version number and creates a Git commit or tag automatically.
+This streamlines release workflows, reduces human error, and keeps project versioning synchronized.  
+
+Install package:  
+💻 `pip install --upgrade bumpversion`
+
+For configuration, create a `.bumpversion.toml` file to specify versioning rules and affected files.
