Import .proto files from another project

I want to import .proto file defined in different project into my golang project and use a message type defined in it.

Proto file I want to import is: https://github.com/lyft/clutch/blob/main/api/k8s/v1/k8s.proto

I have added the import statement as :

import "github.com/lyft/clutch/api/k8s/v1/k8s.proto";

to use message type "Job" in that file, I added

message Jobs {
repeated clutch.k8s.v1.Job job = 1;
}

When I try to compile proto file, I'm getting the error

Import "github.com/lyft/clutch/blob/main/api/k8s/v1/k8s.proto" was not found or had errors.

"clutch.k8s.v1.Job" is not defined.

In order to compile your proto, you should clone the dependency repos and set as include path in the protoc import, as example:

<kbd>job.proto</kbd>

syntax = "proto3";

package clutch.k8s.v1;

// degine
option go_package = "github.com/job";

import "api/k8s/v1/k8s.proto";


message Jobs {
  repeated clutch.k8s.v1.Job job = 1;
}

<kbd>compile.sh</kbd>

proto_out_dir=.
GOBIN=~/go/bin

protoc \
      --go_out "${proto_out_dir}" \
      --go_opt paths=source_relative \
      --go-grpc_out "${proto_out_dir}" \
      --go-grpc_opt require_unimplemented_servers=false,paths=source_relative \
      --plugin protoc-gen-go="${GOBIN}/protoc-gen-go" \
      --plugin protoc-gen-go-grpc="${GOBIN}/protoc-gen-go-grpc" \
--go-grpc_opt=paths=source_relative \
--proto_path=../protoc-gen-validate \
--proto_path=../api-common-protos \
--proto_path=../clutch \
--proto_path=../clutch/api \
--proto_path=. \
job.proto

Will produce:

<kbd>job.pb.go</kbd>

...
type Jobs struct {
	state         protoimpl.MessageState
	sizeCache     protoimpl.SizeCache
	unknownFields protoimpl.UnknownFields

	Job []*v1.Job `protobuf:"bytes,1,rep,name=job,proto3" json:"job,omitempty"`
}
...
