Hey folks,

From my experience dealing with scarce troubleshooting resources around Buf v2 and Managed Mode for Go. As someone who found `protoc`\-based build system overwhelming and annoying (due to its scattered and scarce docs for `protoc` CLI), I turned to `buf` CLI, but ran into multiple import paths issues when generating code in Go.

Seeing that official [Troubleshooting section in Managed Mode](https://buf.build/docs/generate/managed-mode/#troubleshooting) mentions fixes for this common issues caused by Go package's import path resolution in Managed Mode, it doesn't seem like I'm alone.

I hope putting this resource out, condensing info across docs and try to incrementally explain `buf.gen.yaml` config to paint fuller picture between `go_package`, `.proto` deps management, generated Go import paths in order to unblock someone else stumbling the same problems.

The setup itself is very rudimentary. But hopefully you can get value if you're having trouble using Managed Mode.
