Description

In the same way that we can do:

DotNetCoreBuild DotNetCorePublish etc

Would be good to be able to run DotNetCoreWatch as a top level task in my Cake Build script.

Research direction
The issue requests adding a DotNetCoreWatch alias similar to existing DotNetCoreBuild and DotNetCorePublish aliases. The contributor should examine the Cake source code for the pattern used to define dotnet aliases, likely in files like src/Cake.Common/Tools/DotNetCore/DotNetCoreAliases.cs. Review comments on the issue for any discussion about implementation details or potential pitfalls. Then implement the alias following the same structure, ensuring it supports the same parameters and options as its counterpart.
