You probably understand make far better than the average developer. While it may be agnostic, it's not entirely clear what your doing here.

I will try to improve the docs to make it clear.

Thanks to reply. I had no idea about this problem.

But the project is very simples Just try to follow the examples and it will word. Also it's looks like others pipeline system based in yaml.

The next changes will be about docs ;)

Now the docs are more clear.

Take a look again

idk, it just seems like a complicated way to run a command in a docker container. i didn't see any ci/cd pipeline actually taking place or how it integrates with all those services.

It's a unfinished work.

But It already run in following engines:

- gitlab-ci: https://gitlab.com/rosiney.gp/mkdkr/commits/master - actions: https://github.com/rosineygp/mkdkr/actions - travis: https://travis-ci.org/rosineygp/mkdkr - circle-ci: https://circleci.com/gh/rosineygp/mkdkr/tree/master

The bagdes on README.md show it.

Except for gitlab, you have to write your on .yaml by hand. I not finished the exporters/generators.

After write your Makefile, integrated with a engine isn't a big problem.

Take a look at .travis.yml, .gitlab-ci.yml, .circleci/config.yml and .github/workflows/main.yml they are very similar and dumb, just call all jobs resolved in Makefile.

What useful purpose is served by the Makefile? All the targets are .PHONY

The propose is a agnostic pipeline language, that can run in github actions, Jenkins or local. The makefile is a tool that already is used with this propose. Makefile is based in local files or folders .PHONY says to make don't looking for this items on project and just run the block of code
