Summary of Changes

Hello @jbampton, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the Makefile's usability and maintainability. It refactors the .PHONY declarations for better organization, adds comprehensive inline documentation to all targets, and introduces a convenient help command that allows users to quickly see all available make commands and their purposes directly from the command line. This change makes the project's build and development commands much more discoverable and user-friendly.

Highlights

  • Makefile Refactoring: Consolidated all .PHONY declarations into a single line at the top of the Makefile, improving readability and maintainability by centralizing these declarations.
  • Self-Documenting Targets: Added inline ## comments to all existing and new Makefile targets. These comments serve as documentation, clearly describing the functionality of each command.
  • New help Target: Introduced a help target that, when executed (make help), dynamically lists all available Makefile targets along with their descriptive comments. This significantly enhances discoverability and usability for anyone interacting with the Makefile.
  • Default Goal Explicitly Set: Explicitly set all as the default target for the Makefile using .DEFAULT_GOAL := all, ensuring consistent behavior when make is run without any specific target.
