makectl

Generate and Manage targets in your makefiles.

Makectl is a command line tool to generate and manage general use targets in your makefiles.

Features

• Generates Makefiles and manages existing ones
• Provides a repository with templates for general use targets
• Does not break your custom targets

Example

In a folder, lets say you have a Makefile

```make .PHONY run

run: myawesomescript --options

... ```

Now you may want to add some general use targets to reuse in your project, for example, everyone needs a target to clean up .pyc files in a Python project.

bash $ makectl add --template=python-clean ... Reading templates database from github.io/makectl... ... Building templates ... Aplying new target `clean-pyc` to `./Makefile`

The end result will be:

```make .PHONY run clean-pyc

run: myawesomescript --options

MAKECTL MANAGED BLOCK INIT

clean-pyc: @find ./ -name '.pyc' -exec rm -f {} \; @find ./ -name 'Thumbs.db' -exec rm -f {} \; @find ./ -name '~' -exec rm -f {} \; rm -rf .cache rm -rf build rm -rf dist rm -rf *.egg-info rm -rf htmlcov rm -rf .tox/ rm -rf docs/_build

MAKECTL MANAGED BLOCK END

```

The templates database is a folder under this repo with .template files in it.
