 The workflow includes four steps:
 - Marking API types with tags: in `pkg/apis/${GROUP}/${VERSION}/types.go`, mark the types (e.g., Pods) that you want to generate clients for with the `// +genclient=true` tag.  If the resource associated with the type is not namespace scoped (e.g., PersistentVolume), you need to append the `nonNamespaced=true` tag as well.

For example, run
