I'm wondering if there could be any way to have an auto updater for the developer versions of dolphin so you don't have to redownload a new version every couple hours, as I like to keep things up to date. Is there any possibility of this?

Another solution is to only download an update when it has changes that pertain to how you use Dolphin. So, anything about the Android builds would be useless to someone on PC, and such. Code cleanups are not a big performance increase to the user (if any), they're largely a workflow increase for the devs, so that less time is wasted when trying to implement features, or fix bugs, so you don't need to download stuff like "removes whitespaces". When you come to a build that you're not entirely sure about, check the PR comments and such.

But, as for an auto-update, I'd say that it would be most fitting for milestones, or stables, since a new dev version is sometimes released every hour or so, on some days. That, or you could get your own automated builder, which I could definitely see there being a sufficient demand for there to already exist one. Not specifically for dolphin, but in general, really.
in a perfect world we would all be piles of sand with no ability to form coherent bodies of body
