A practical guide to automating .NET Aspire SDK updates using a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow. The workflow runs `aspire update` every three days, detects file changes, validates the solution with restore/build/test steps, and creates a single consolidated pull request using `peter-evans/create-pull-request`. This approach fills a gap left by Dependabot, which cannot update the `Aspire.AppHost.Sdk` attribute in project files and generates many small PRs. The full workflow YAML is provided along with explanations of each step and action used.
