About Make
Make: A VS Code extension for working with make
Many programming languages, such as C and Go, still rely upon Makefiles to handle builds. This extension provides features to ease working with Make in VS Code.
Features
• Run any Makefile target with ease. Just run CMD-SHIFT-P and type make. You will be prompted for a target. • Don't remember all your Makefile targets? Run CMD-SHIFT-P target and you will be prompted with a list.
Requirements
• A version of make that supports table printing with -p. • The egrep command (which is fairly standard) • Currently, this is only tested on macOS, though it should work on Linux. Untested on Windows WSL.
Known Issues
• None so far
