how to do many to many tables and not overwrite when generating entities

[brandonpollack23]

When generating entities it will overwrite the files so any via definitions will be overwritten. The alternatives I thought of are manually move the relation and related traits to the model file and delete the autogenerated ones (every time), use regular seaquery expressions in my model and manage the join table manually, or don't use entity generation.

What's the recommended approach?
