Description

Hi, I finally had a good reason to use pytest-bdd in detail and it's a great experience, so thank you 😊

I saw some comments about generate-missing in the issues and I see something like this in the code, although it doesn't seem to be documented. Is it different to pytest-bdd generate foo.feature? For example does it only do the generate for steps/scenarios that are not yet implemented?? That would be nice :)

Research direction

Start by locating the generate-missing implementation in the pytest-bdd code and compare its behavior with pytest-bdd generate foo.feature. Document what generate-missing does, including whether it affects only unimplemented steps or scenarios, and explain how it differs from the existing generate command.
