If you are going to update the models from time to time, here's a convenient way to simplify the process.

Title:

Update DbContext
Command:

dotnet.exe
Arguments:

ef dbcontext scaffold "your-connection-string" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer --output-dir=Models --force
Initial directory:

$(ProjectDir)
Then optionally tick "Use Output window", hit Apply and OK.

When you go to Tools again, this new menu should be there and ready for reuse, in just a click of a button!
