Protobuf

Lesser-known but useful buf commands

The buf CLI is a multipurpose tool for working with Protocol Buffers. The core features include linting, formatting, breaking change detection, code generation, dependency management, etc.

But the goal of this post is to highlight some of the lesser-known commands I've personally found useful. Emphasis on personally. This is an evolving post of the lesser-known buf commands and notes on how I use them.
