+Usage:
+  $PROG
+  $PROG getlast
+  $PROG getfinal
+  $PROG (final|alpha|beta|candidate) [-s <scope> (major|minor|patch|auto) | -o]
+  $PROG --help
+  $PROG --version
+Options:
+  -s         The scope that must be increased, can be major, minor or patch.
+               The resulting version will match X.Y.Z(-PRERELEASE)(+BUILD)
+               where X, Y and Z are positive integers, PRERELEASE is an optionnal
+               string composed of alphanumeric characters describing if the build is
+               a release candidate, alpha or beta version, with a number.
+               BUILD is also an optional string composed of alphanumeric
+               characters and hyphens.
+               Setting the scope as 'auto', the script will chose the scope between
+               'minor' and 'patch', depending on the amount of lines added (<10% will
+               choose patch).
+  -v         Specifies manually the version to be tagged, must be a valid semantic version
+               in the format X.Y.Z where X, Y and Z are positive integers.
+  -o         Output the version only, shows the bumped version, but doesn't tag.
+  -f         Forces to tag, even if there are unstaged or uncommited changes.
+Commands:
+  --help     Print this help message.
+  --version  Prints the program's version.
+  get        Returns both current final version and last tagged version.
+  getlast    Returns the latest tagged version.
+  getfinal   Returns the latest tagged final version.
+  getcurrent Returns the current version, based on the latest one, if there are uncommited or
+               unstaged changes, they will be reflected in the version, adding the number of
+               pending commits, current branch and commit hash.
+  final      Tags the current build as a final version, this only can be done on the master branch.
+  candidate  Tags the current build as a release candidate, the tag will contain all
+               the commits from the last final version.
+  alpha      Tags the current build as an alpha version, the tag will contain all
+               the commits from the last final version.
+  beta       Tags the current build as a beta version, the tag will contain all
+               the commits from the last final version."
