## Glob patterns for versioning
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Caret
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Interested in any version so long as the major version remains at $n$. E.g if we are at `^4.2.1` and we upgrade, we are ok with `4.5.3` or `4.8.2`. We are not bothered about the minor or patch version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is equivalent to `4.x`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Tilde
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Interested in any patch version within set major and minor parameters. For example `~1.8.3` means you don't mind any patch version so long as it is a patch for `1.8`. This is equivalent to `1.8.x`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### No tilde or caret
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the *exact* version specified
