Do I need to split data when using GridSearchCV?

Viewed 8883

Gridsearhcv uses StratifiedKFold or KFold. So my question is that should I split my data into train and test before using gridsearch, then do fitting only for test data? I am not sure whether it is necessary because cv method already splits the data but I have seen some examples which split data beforehand.

Thank you.
