Introducing dotnet nuget why

With .NET SDK 8.0.4xx and later versions, we will have access to a   new dotnet nuget command: dotnet nuget why. You can try this now with the latest .NET 9 SDK Preview: 9.0.100-preview.6 (thanks @ErikEJ for pointing it out).

dotnet nuget why --help

dotnet nuget why --help

For an example,

dotnet nuget why <PROJECT|SOLUTION> System.Text.Json

dotnet nuget why

I can see the dependency graph for the given package and if it references an old package.

Happy Coding.
