Versioning using git tags

Assuming you will host that package in a git repository, you can use tags as composer versions. If you create a tag v1.0.0 in your git repository, you can use that one for your composer update command and version definition.

{
    "require": {
        "your/package": "1.0.0"
    }
}

composer update your/package

For further details on that versioning you can refer to the manual over here.

Versioning using git branches

Secondly, you can use git branches for your version management. Basically, its the same schema as when using git tags: a branch name v1.0.0 will be used when executing the update, assuming your composer.json contains "your/package" : "1.0.0".

For further details you can again refer to the manual over here.

Versioning in manually created packages

If you do not use a git repo but want to create the packages manually, you can use the composer.json file for versioning. Simply add the version attribute to the json schema like explained here. Please note, that adding the version manually is not recommended if your VCS allows tagging / branching.
