Generating CRDs needs a Kubernetes context

This looks like a really cool library. We're looking at this for implementing operators for a nascent Kubernetes distribution: neonKUBE

One problem I'm having is actually building an operator that generates CRDs. The issue appears to be with dependency injection trying to construct a KubernetesClient instance when I don't have a current Kubernetes context specified in my .kube/config file.

I replicated this with your KubeOps.TestOperator by executing (without a current Kubernetes context) in the debugger with this command line:

generator crds --out config\crds --format Yaml

here's the exception:

It seems to me that constructing a KubernetesClient instance isn't really necessary for generating the CRDs. Is there a way to avoid this?
