To 'override' SaveChanges without needing to create all that extra code, I wrapped it in its own extension method. i.e.

public static int SaveChangesWrapped(this MyDbContext db)
{
    // do other things

    return db.SaveChanges();
}

or async...

public static Task SaveChangesAsyncWrapped(this MyDbContext db)
{
    // do other things

    return await db.SaveChangesAsync();
}

You can tweak it however you need, i.e. add other parameters, make it generic, etc. I may be missing something but this was enough for me to 'override' SaveChanges and cut down a whole lot of repeated code.

Then anywhere in your code when you want to save, it's just:

db.SaveChangesWrapped();

//or

await db.SaveChangedAsyncWrapped();
