+To incorporate `@push.rocks/smartversion` into your project, run the following command using npm:
+
+```bash
+npm install @push.rocks/smartversion --save
+```
+
+Or if you prefer using Yarn:
+
+```bash
+yarn add @push.rocks/smartversion
+```
+
+This will add it to your project's dependencies.
 
 ## Usage
 
-Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.
+`@push.rocks/smartversion` offers a comprehensive suite of functionalities to easily manipulate and compare semantic versions (semver). The following documentation assumes that you are familiar with TypeScript and semantic versioning concepts.
 
-For further information read the linked docs at the top of this readme.
+### Importing the module
 
-> MIT licensed | **©** [Lossless GmbH](https://lossless.gmbh)
-| By using this npm module you agree to our [privacy policy](https://lossless.gmbH/privacy)
+Begin by importing `SmartVersion` from the package:
 
-[![repo-footer](https://lossless.gitlab.io/publicrelations/repofooter.svg)](https://maintainedby.lossless.com)
+```typescript
+import { SmartVersion } from '@push.rocks/smartversion';
+```
+
+### Creating a SmartVersion instance
+
+You can instantiate `SmartVersion` with a semver string:
+
+```typescript
+const version = new SmartVersion('1.0.0');
+console.log(version.versionString); // Outputs: '1.0.0'
+```
+
+Alternatively, if you have a fuzzy version string (e.g., `"^1.0.0"`, `"~1.2"`), you can use the static method `fromFuzzyString`:
+
+```typescript
+const fuzzyVersion = SmartVersion.fromFuzzyString('^1.0.0');
+console.log(fuzzyVersion.versionString); // Outputs the minimum version satisfying the fuzzy string
+```
+
+### Accessing Parts of the Version
+
+The major, minor, and patch components are accessible as properties:
+
+```typescript
+console.log(version.major); // Outputs: 1
+console.log(version.minor); // Outputs: 0
+console.log(version.patch); // Outputs: 0
+```
+
+### Comparing Versions
+
+You can compare the instance to another `SmartVersion` instance or a semver string to determine if it's greater or lesser:
+
+```typescript
+const version1 = new SmartVersion('1.2.3');
+const version2 = new SmartVersion('2.0.0');
+
+console.log(version1.greaterThan(version2)); // Outputs: false
+console.log(version1.lessThan(version2)); // Outputs: true
+
+console.log(version1.greaterThanString('1.2.2')); // Outputs: true
+console.log(version1.lessThanString('2.1.0')); // Outputs: true
+```
+
+### Getting a Best Match
+
+For an array of available versions, to find the best match for the given version or range:
+
+```typescript
+const availableVersions = ['1.0.0', '1.2.0', '1.2.3', '2.0.0'];
+console.log(version.getBestMatch(availableVersions)); // Outputs the best matching version
+```
+
+### Getting New Versions
+
+You can also easily increment the version to get a new `SmartVersion` instance of the next major, minor, or patch version:
+
+```typescript
+const newPatchVersion = version.getNewPatchVersion();
+console.log(newPatchVersion.versionString); // Outputs: '1.0.1'
+
+const newMinorVersion = version.getNewMinorVersion();
+console.log(newMinorVersion.versionString); // Outputs: '1.1.0'
+
+const newMajorVersion = version.getNewMajorVersion();
+console.log(newMajorVersion.versionString); // Outputs: '2.0.0'
+```
+
+### Dynamic Version Updates
+
+For dynamic updates or operations based on conditions:
+
+```typescript
+const updateType = 'minor'; // Example condition
+const updatedVersion = version.getNewVersion(updateType);
+console.log(updatedVersion.versionString); // Outputs: '1.1.0'
+```
+
+The `SmartVersion` class and its methods offer a robust solution for managing versions in your projects, enabling you to parse, compare, and manipulate semantic versions programmatically with ease.
+
+This tool is ideal for automated version management in continuous integration / continuous deployment (CI/CD) workflows, package publishing, or anywhere precise version control is needed.
+
+For any updates, contributions, or issues, please visit the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/pushrocks/smartversion) or the [npm package page](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@push.rocks/smartversion).
+
+> Note: This documentation aims to provide comprehensive examples and usage scenarios for `@push.rocks/smartversion`. However, the actual use cases might vary depending on the project context or development environment. It is always recommended to test and validate the functionality within your project setup.
