I want to regenerate the files after making changes!

Great, it should be as simple as thus (run from the root of the directory):

docker run -v $(pwd):/src/grpc-gateway --rm jfbrandhorst/grpc-gateway-build-env:1.14 \
    /bin/bash -c 'cd /src/grpc-gateway && \
        make realclean && \
        make examples'
docker run -itv $(pwd):/grpc-gateway -w /grpc-gateway --entrypoint /bin/bash --rm \
    l.gcr.io/google/bazel -c 'bazel run :gazelle -- update-repos -from_file=go.mod -to_macro=repositories.bzl%go_repositories; bazel run :buildifier'
docker run -itv $(pwd):/grpc-gateway -w /grpc-gateway --entrypoint /bin/bash --rm \
    l.gcr.io/google/bazel -c 'bazel run :gazelle'

If this has resulted in some file changes in the repo, please ensure you check those in with your merge request.
