GitVersion version
6.x
Operating system

What are you seeing?
I recently installed the dotnet tool for this project following the instructions on the documentation site: dotnet tool install --global GitVersion.Tool --version 5.*. : dotnet tool -g gitversion. Upon installation, running dotnet gitversion /version yields 5.12.0....
I initially forgot I had supplied a --version parameter when installing, hence the genesis of this issue.
What is expected?
I was expecting v6.x which is the currently released version. I expect that the documentation would be updated to not include a --version flag in the example. Perhaps a notice sidebar could be added to the docs to point people to the --version flag if they need to install an older version of the GitVersion.Tools package, such as:
Note
To install an older version of GitVersion.Tools, use the --version flag of dotnet tool install, e.g. dotnet tool install GitVersion.Tool --global --version 5.*
Steps to Reproduce
In the Visual Studio Terminal:
PS C:> dotnet tool -g install gitversion --version 5.*
PS C:> dotnet tool gitversion /version
5.12.0+Branch.support-5.x.Sha.3f75764963eb3d7956dcd5a40488c074dd9faf9eRepositoryFixture Test
