Mmake is a small Go program that wraps GNU make to add user-friendly features like automatic help output from Makefile comments and remote includes fetched over HTTP or GitHub shortcuts. It otherwise acts as a pass-through to standard make.

Use cases

  • generate help output from makefile comments
  • run make tasks with friendly help listing
  • include shared makefiles from remote URLs
  • use make as a task runner with better UX
  • share common makefile targets across projects
  • alias make to a modern wrapper

When to choose

  • you use make as a task runner and want built-in help output
  • you want to share makefile snippets across repos via remote includes
  • you want a drop-in make wrapper that preserves standard behavior

When to avoid

  • you need a full modern build system rather than a make wrapper
  • you rely on features beyond help output and remote includes
  • you need actively maintained software with a license and recent releases
