Uses your csproj file to update nuspec dependencies.

updeps

Uses your csproj file (or multiple) to update nuspec dependencies.

Image you have a project Foo.csproj and you created a custom Foo.nuspec. You do it by your self because the automated generation of nuspec files in Visual Studio actually sucks. So, now you always forgetting to update your dependencies. With updeps you can update your nuspec file with just one following command.

updeps Foo.csproj Foo.nuspec

Or in case you want to combine multiple project in one nuspec file then run following

updeps Foo.csproj Bar.csproj Foo.nuspec

It will output something like this

Reading C:\Projects\Foo.csproj
  Added 2.0.1 Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization
  Added 2.0.1 Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Abstractions
  Added 2.0.1 Microsoft.AspNetCore.WebUtilities

  Added 2.0.0 Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder

  Added 2.0.0 Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.EnvironmentVariables
  Added 2.0.0 Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.FileExtensions

And if you hook it up to MSBuild then Visual Studio will do it automatically for you on every build. But for me, I hooked it into my NuGet publishing script.
