CLI Solution Sync Command

[cpendery]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We are trying to update a solution file for a given path such that every ProjectReference inside the .csproj file in that folder is recursively iterated and added to the solution.

Describe the solution you'd like

We'd like to run a dotnet cli command that will perform this action.

Description:
  .NET modify solution file command that recursively traverses the C# project dependency tree in the directory
  where the solution file is located to update the solution file to contain all projects in the dependency tree

Usage:
  dotnet sln sync <SLN_FILE> <CSPROJ_FILE> [options]

Arguments:
  <SLN_FILE>  The solution file to operate on. If not specified, the command will search the current directory for one.
  <CSPROJ_FILE>  The csproj file to start operating on. If not specified, the command will search the directory of the SLN_FILE for one.

Options:
  -?, -h, --help  Show command line help.

Additional context

Happy to contribute support for this

slngen is somewhat similar but AFAIK it cannot add to an existing solution file.

We ended up using this solution. It is able to append entries into an existing solution file, but we just dropped solution files entirely and now build them on the fly with slngen
