Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Major dot minor dot patch in order
Semantic versioning builds our border
Breaking changes bump the major high
Minor features add without goodbye
Patches fix the bugs we left behind
Keep the numbers clean and well-defined

[Chorus]
Plan and tag and ship it out
Document what it's all about
Changelog tells the story clear
Major minor patch appear
Train conductor keeps the pace
Hotfix jumps to save the race

[Verse 2]
Changelog captures every single shift
Added changed deprecated gift
Fixed removed security too
Categories help us organize through
Markdown format tells the tale
From unreleased to stable trail

[Chorus]
Plan and tag and ship it out
Document what it's all about
Changelog tells the story clear
Major minor patch appear
Train conductor keeps the pace
Hotfix jumps to save the race

[Bridge]
Release train runs on schedule tight
Weekly monthly gets it right
Feature freeze before we go
Testing staging final show
But when production starts to break
Hotfix branch is what we make

[Verse 3]
Cherry pick the critical repair
Skip the train we cannot spare
Deploy direct to fix the pain
Then merge back to main again
Communication spreads the word
Every stakeholder has heard

[Chorus]
Plan and tag and ship it out
Document what it's all about
Changelog tells the story clear
Major minor patch appear
Train conductor keeps the pace
Hotfix jumps to save the race

[Outro]
Version numbers tell the truth
Processes smooth like fountain youth
Release management done with care
Quality software everywhere
