The command "poetry version minor" is used in the poetry package manager for Python. It is used to increment the minor version number of the current project.
In software development, version numbers are used to track the progression and updates of a software or project. A version number typically consists of three parts: major, minor, and patch.
The major version represents major changes or updates that may introduce backward-incompatible changes. The minor version represents smaller changes or feature additions that are backward-compatible. The patch version represents bug fixes or patches that do not introduce any new features.
When you run the "poetry version minor" command, it increments the minor version number of your project in the poetry.toml file (a configuration file for the poetry package manager). This indicates that you have made some backward-compatible changes or added new features to your project.
For example, if your project's current version is "1.2.3," running "poetry version minor" will update it to "1.3.0" (incrementing the minor version).
