-To get started:
-
-1. Replace `function-template-go` with your function in `go.mod`,
-   `package/crossplane.yaml`, and any Go imports. (You can also do this
-   automatically by running the `./init.sh <function-name>` script.)
-2. Update `input/v1beta1/` to reflect your desired input (and run `go generate`)
-3. Add your logic to `RunFunction` in `fn.go`
-4. Add tests for your logic in `fn_test.go`
-5. Update `README.md`, to be about your function!
