dotnet restore with update in the new csproj/msbuild-based projects?

Question

How do I actually update the new csproj-based project's Nuget packages to the latest ones when using Visual Studio Code?

This is what I have within the .csproj file:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore" Version="1.0.3" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc" Version="1.0.2" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles" Version="1.0.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug" Version="1.0.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.BrowserLink" Version="1.0.0" />

If I do dotnet restore it will only install the specified package versions.

There is no dotnet restore update or dotnet nuget update option available.

All of the above referenced Microsoft.AspNetCore.* packages have newer versions (1.1.0).

I would like to update the packages and have the references updated automatically in the same way we do this in Visual Studio.

Currently, VS Code does not have a built-in Nuget Manager tool. The only possible way is to edit .csproj file manually and update versions.

If regarding VS Code extensions, there is a Net Core Project Manager extension, that works pretty well.
