Samayas MSBuild Nuspec Package Reference Updater
This package provides an MSBuild component for .NET Core projects that automatically keeps your .nuspec file dependencies in sync with your projects current PackageReference entries.
Instead of manually copying dependencies from your .csproj files into your .nuspec file, this tool handles it for you. Whenever you add or update a PackageReference in your .NET Core project, the MSBuild task will automatically update the corresponding dependencies in your .nuspec file.
Note: This tool is for .NET Core projects only.
