The dotnetsdkcheck command makes it easier to track when new versions of the SDK and Runtimes are
available. Within each feature band it tells you:
• The latest available version of the .NET SDK and .NET Runtime.
• Whether your installed versions are up-to-date or out of support.
Here’s an example of output from the command:
