Purpose

I use a Makefile as a task-runner. You can put this in your folder and modify as you see fit.

A more complex example

Requirements

I make some assumptions here.

1. You know what Makefiles are and you kinda-sorta know how to use them
2. You have make installed on your computer. For macos you can use xcode-select from the command line.

Usage

Simply copy the Makefile into a folder where you will run your shortcuts or automations. Simple typing make in the same folder shoudl output the following:

simplecto:~ sam$ curl -sL https://simplecto.com/makefile/ > Makefile
simplecto:~ sam$ make
sample                         This is a sample command
simplecto:~ sam$

If you see the above then you are good to go. Simply start making additions to your Makefile.
