### Versioning
The versioning scheme used is [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0](http://semver.org/) with the Gradle Axion Release plugin
that controls versions automatically based on git tags. If you ever face issues with the version or version tags are
manually manipulated; the following command will clean up your local tags and fetch the remote tags again:
```
git tag -l | xargs git tag -d
git fetch --tags
```
