When I need to update my npm package readme file , I need to update it's version. Is it possible to update readme file without version update?

    If you're following Semver guidelines, (if not then you should be!), then _no_ because doing so would be a breach of the rules. See point [`#3`](https://semver.org/#spec-item-3) in the semver spec. It reads: _"Once a versioned package has been released, the contents of that version MUST NOT be modified. Any modifications MUST be released as a new version."_. – RobC Aug 08 '18 at 10:40
  • @RobC If you're anything less than a god, then it's possible to make a mistake in the Readme, especially since English isn't the first language of most programmers and it doesn't have convenient static analysis tools to make sure that what we write is correct and true. Also, the following are assumed to be excluded from versioning unless explicitly stated - guarantees that any particular invalid usage will never become valid - the text of human-readable error messages - Non-code, such as documentation – Lőrinc Bethlenfalvy Nov 13 '22 at 17:16
