title: package manager in visual studio code
body: <p>I've been using visual studio code as a second display (with visual studio as the first) to view/edit code mostly JavaScript since you can right click/format the code with easy.</p>
  
  <p>But I recently took to time to study how it's c#/asp.net core debug functionality has evolved and it seems it has become even more easier to start whipping debug in no time.</p>
  
  <p>But there is one thing I haven't figured out and whether it's even possible. That's it managing nuget packages. Visual studio offers a nice <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/tools/package-manager-ui" rel="noreferrer">package manager ui</a> to view installed packages and which packages might need a version bump.

  <p>It's there an alternative for visual studio code other than browsing the <a href="https://www.nuget.org/" rel="noreferrer">nuget site</a> and checking which of your referenced packages have updated and editing the <code>.csproj</code> manually or running <code>dotnet add &lt;project&gt; package ...</code>?</p>
