makefilez

A collection of helpful makefiles for projects.

So far I've built what I found useful for some personal and professional products.

Why?

Every time I created a new project I found myself recreating Makefile with largely the same targets.

Why make?

• Widely available
• Easy to add new targets/features
• Didn't require building a wrapper CLI

Available makefiles

• docker
• docker compose
• git
• project
• python

Usage

First, add this repo as a submodule to your repo.

git submodule add git@github.com:MoonMoon1919/makefilez.git

Then, create a Makefile.

touch Makefile

Then you can use an include statement in your Makefile pointing to the Makefile(s) you want to import into your Makefile. An example Makefile for a Python project can be found below.

MAKEFILES_DIR := $(PWD)/makefilez/modules

include $(MAKEFILES_DIR)/python/Makefile

venv:
	@make venv-super

types:
	@make types-super

lint:
	@make lint-super

organize-imports:
	@make imports-super

dead-code:
	@make dead-code-super

docs:
	@make docs-super

security:
	@make security-super

complexity:
	@make complexity-super

test/unit:
	@make tests/unit-super

test/integration:
	@make tests/integration-super

test/e2e:
	@make tests/e2e-super

Note that the Python makefile makes use of the wildcard %, which allows Make to match the initial target string plus any additional characters. For example, the unit test target is implemented as test/unit%, which can then be used in your makefile as test/unit-super or test/unit-foo or anything you dream up. super, while not required, is a convenient word to use to signal to your future self or teammates that the target you're calling came from another file.
