gibatronic / make-help Goto Github PK

so, detect the project root and grab the makefile automatically.

currently make-help will sort all tasks by default. maybe an option like --no-sort might be useful.

When I try to use it as a locally installed dependency, I get:

./node_modules/.bin/make-help: line 45: cd: ../make-help/bin: No such file or directory
./node_modules/.bin/make-help: line 45: cd: /Users/Storm/dev/contentshq/api/../lib: No such file or directory
awk: can't open file /Users/Storm/dev/contentshq/api/commented-targets.awk
 source line number 1 source file /Users/Storm/dev/contentshq/api/commented-targets.awk
 context is
     >>>  <<< 

Would love to use this, but I'd like to install it locally so that it doesn't add a hidden global dependency to the current project.

Hello,

There is no license for this project, would you consider adding one?

Thank you!

allow the user to pass a makefile through stdin, so it's possible to call make-help like this:

# pipe
cat path/to/Makefile | make-help
echo 'makefile contents' | make-help

# redirect
make-help < path/to/Makefile
make-help <<< 'makefile contents'

When I run:

$ make

with the following Makefile:

.DEFAULT_GOAL := help

.PHONY: build \
        go \
        help

.SILENT:

# generate binaries and assets
build: go

# generate ad-insert-ui binary
go:
        tasks/go

# show some help
help:
        tasks/help

I got the following output (sometimes it just take long without output):

  Usage:
    make <target>

  Targets:
out of memory for RE run time stack

If I remove the comment above the build target, then it works, but build it's not listed:

$make

  Usage:
    make <target>

  Targets:
    go:    generate ad-insert-ui binary
    help:  show some help
