It is good practise to use semantic versioning e.g. 1.0.1 MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
- MAJOR version when you make incompatible changes,
- MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
- PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
Don’t update the version on every code commit in git (just do it manually), rather on every group of features that are implemented/shipped as a release for the theme. Hope that helps!
