I've made an Wordpress theme. But recently, after every change I make in the code, the cache in Chrome has to be deleted to see the change.
Can this be handled automatic with a plugin or a line of code to add to the funtions.php?

1have you just tried doing a hard refresh? (ctrl + f5) Usually that forces browsers to redownload all files – Pete Feb 07 '18 at 12:18

Yes, you can make the link to the css use a query string with a timestamp. This way you will get a unique link each load.
Assuming you are using wp_enque_style() to load the style, there is a version parameter, set this to the current time with the function time() and it will add it to the link.
function themeslug_enqueue_style() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'mystyle', 'path/to/mystyle.css', false, time() );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'themeslug_enqueue_style' );

1You would have to remember not to put this into production otherwise you will cause everyone to redownload files all the time -not great for page load times – Pete Feb 07 '18 at 12:50
