+# Create a new GUDHI version
+
+We will consider that all operations will be performed in a brand new clone of the main project:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/GUDHI/gudhi-devel.git
+cd gudhi-devel
+```
+
+## Version file modification
+
+**Edit the file CMakeGUDHIVersion.txt**, and increment major, minor, or patch version number, in function of the version new delivery.
+```bash
+# cf. .gitignore - ignore this if it is a fresh clone version
+rm -rf data/points/COIL_database/lucky_cat.off_dist data/points/COIL_database/lucky_cat.off_sc.dot data/points/KleinBottle5D.off_dist data/points/KleinBottle5D.off_sc.dot data/points/human.off_dist data/points/human.off_sc.off data/points/human.off_sc.txt
+```
