Description
We use a custom code_generator. We created it awhile ago. Now there is a build-cookbook generator. would be nice if we could just rerun the generator inside our code_generator cookbook to get the updates and new files/recipes. This approach seems to work for both cookbook and repo generators, but there is no PATH option for this one
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with the chef generate generator . command and compare how the cookbook and repo generators support rerunning in an existing location. Determine how the code_generator cookbook should receive updates and new files, including whether it needs a PATH option; done means rerunning the command updates that cookbook without recreating it.
