Simplifying .NET Installs with dotnetup
summary
New tool that installs and manages .NET SDKs and runtimes per-user on every OS, delivered as a native AOT binary that verifies signed manifests and updates itself. It reads global.json to choose versions, edits shell profiles during dotnet-up init, and runs commands like dotnet-up SDK install or dotnet-up runtime install 8 9 10 to fetch SDKs and individual runtimes (so tests run without full additional SDKs). It tracks installs in a local manifest, supports list/update/uninstall, and targets public preview this summer.
