The command "standard-version --dry-run" is used in software development, specifically with the tool called "standard-version".
The "standard-version" tool is used for managing and automating the process of creating version releases for software projects. It follows the conventions set by the Semantic Versioning specification.
The "--dry-run" option is an argument passed to the "standard-version" command. When "--dry-run" is used, the command performs a simulation or a trial run, without making any actual changes to the project. It allows you to see what changes "standard-version" would make without actually applying them.
In summary, "standard-version --dry-run" is a command that performs a trial run of the "standard-version" tool, showing you the version updates it would make to your project without actually modifying any files. This can be useful for previewing the potential changes before committing to them.
