Description

It seems to me the Go-related code should be abstracted to its own @netlify/go-sdk repository.

This would make both the Go client and the OpenAPI code easier to work with. This would also:

  • separate concerns
  • speed up CI

However Go imports might be broken when doing so, so this needs to be done carefully.

Research direction

Start by inventorying the Go-related code and OpenAPI code in the repository, then trace the Go imports that could break during extraction. Define the repository boundary and CI changes needed for the separation; done means the Go client is independently maintained with working imports and the existing API behavior preserved.
