Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When building clients I should be able to specify the default base path easily without having to change the API specification itself.

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to be able to specify the BasePath during the generation process using command line aguements.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

I spent a decent amount of time googling for a way to do this but unfortunately just kept finding other people already stuck on this.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by locating the command-line option handling and client-generation paths in OpenAPI Generator, then determine how generated clients currently set BasePath; done means a documented generation argument changes the default base path without editing the API specification.
