dotnet new update [--interactive] [--add-source|--nuget-source <SOURCE>] 
    [-d|--diagnostics] [--verbosity <LEVEL>] [-h|--help]

dotnet new update --check-only|--dry-run [--interactive] [--add-source|--nuget-source <SOURCE>] 
    [-d|--diagnostics] [--verbosity <LEVEL>] [-h|--help]

The dotnet new update command updates installed template packages. The dotnet new update command with --check-only option checks for available updates for installed template packages without applying them.

Starting with the .NET 7 SDK, the dotnet new syntax has changed:

• The --list, --search, --install, and --uninstall options became list, search, install, and uninstall subcommands.
• The --update-apply option became the update subcommand.
• To use --update-check, use the update subcommand with the --check-only option.

Other options that were available before are still available to use with their respective subcommands. Separate help for each subcommand is available via the -h or --help option: dotnet new <subcommand> --help lists all supported options for the subcommand.

Additionally, tab completion is now available for dotnet new. It supports completion for installed template names and for the options a selected template provides. To activate tab completion for the .NET SDK, see Enable tab completion. > > Examples of the old syntax: > > - Show help for the update subcommand. > > - Check for updates for installed template packages: > > dotnetcli >   dotnet new --update-check > > > - Update installed template packages: > > dotnetcli >   dotnet new --update-apply >

• --interactive

  Allows the command to stop and wait for user input or action. For example, to complete authentication. Available since .NET 5.0 SDK.

• --add-source|nuget-source <SOURCE>

  By default, dotnet new install uses the hierarchy of NuGet configuration files from the current directory to determine the NuGet source the package can be installed from. If --nuget-source is specified, the source will be added to the list of sources to be checked.

  To check the configured sources for the current directory use dotnet nuget list source. For more information, see Common NuGet Configurations. Available since .NET SDK 7.0.100.
