I found a neat trick a little while ago, that automatically shows you what CMDs are available.
# # Why use Makefile? # because you get help lists & auto-complete on complex commands # help: ## Show this help. @fgrep -h "##" $(MAKEFILE_LIST) | fgrep -v fgrep | sed -e 's/\\$$//' | sed -e 's/##//' # linebreak : ## ====================================================================== # make all output silent - ie: no CMDs shown #.SILENT: gitStatus: ## show GIT status @git status -b --column -s
Simple copy this into the top of your Makefile, and add comments as shown using ## after the cmd name.
Now when you call 'make' without any arguments, you will see a list of available commands with their descriptions.
A brilliant tool for projects with loads of cmd line tools to remember.
