okay so bestie, welcome to section 1 of the general commands manual, because today we're talking about protoc-gen-beefcake and honestly? she's a behind-the-scenes icon 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

protoc-gen-beefcake — generate code from .proto files 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

protoc-gen-beefcake

no flags, no args, no drama. just vibes and a plugin doing her thing 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, protoc-gen-beefcake is a plugin that generates marshaling/unmarshaling code from Google Protocol Buffer .proto input files. that's the whole job. that's her main character moment. ✨

the way she works is: the protoc compiler executes her. she does not get called directly, okay? like, do not show up at her door uninvited. she is not meant to be called directly, periodt. 🙈

fr fr, if you're sitting there thinking "imma just run protoc-gen-beefcake in my terminal," bestie no 😭 she's invoked by protoc, that's the whole arrangement, that's the lore.
