### How to generate
First, build the generator:
```bash
go build ./cmd/gen
```
Clone Lemmy's source code at whatever version you need:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy -b 0.16.7
```
Remove all the existing generated code:
```bash
rm **/*.gen.go
```
Execute the generator:
```bash
./gen -out-dir .
```
And that's it! Your generated code should be ready for use.
