I am trying to generate client code using k8s.io/code-generator. These are the instructions that I am following: https://itnext.io/how-to-generate-client-codes-for-kubernetes-custom-resource-definitions-crd-b4b9907769ba
My question is, does my go module need to be present on a repository or can I simply run the generate-groups.sh script on a go module that is ONLY present on my local system and not on any repository?
I have already tried running it and from what I understand, there needs to be a repository having ALL the contents of my local go module. Is my understanding correct?
You CAN run kubernetes/code-generator's generate-groups.sh on a go module that is only present on your local system. Neither code-generator nor your module needs to be in your GOPATH.
Cloned kubernetes/code-generator into a new directory.
$HOME/somedir
├── code-generator
Created a project called myrepo and mocked it with content to resemble sample-controller. Did this in the same directory to keep it simple.

require k8s.io/apimachinery v0.17.4Ran generate-group.sh. The -h flag specifies which header file to use. The -o flag specifies the output base which is necessary here because we're not in GOPATH.
