Description

I find documentation of semvar range syntax on multiple pages:

  1. https://docs.npmjs.com/about-semantic-versioning
  2. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/commands/npm-update#example
  3. https://semver.npmjs.com/#syntax-examples
  4. https://github.com/npm/node-semver (I'm not sure if this one should be considered in this conversation)

I don't mind overlap so long as a single comprehensive page exists. The problem is, each page contains unique content, so if you can't find the answer you're looking for on one page, you have to read the next.

Research direction

Start by comparing the semantic-versioning page, npm-update example, semver.npmjs.com syntax examples, and the node-semver repository referenced in the issue. Identify the unique range-syntax content across these sources and consolidate it into one comprehensive documentation page, while preserving or clarifying relevant links and examples.
