Dagger CLI runs generate functions and applies their changesets

Introduced 2026-02-05 · score 0.98

HOW TO USE IT

When repository code generation is implemented as Dagger generator functions, mark each function with the SDK’s generate annotation and have it return a Changeset. Run `dagger generate` from the workspace to run generators and review and apply their combined changeset.

WHY THIS HELPS

Run repository code generation implemented as Dagger module functions and apply the resulting changesets.
