My preferred base makefile cobbled together from: https://tech.davis-hansson.com/p/make https://marmelab.com/blog/2016/02/29/auto-documented-makefile.html

Makefile

SHELL := bash
.ONESHELL:
.SHELLFLAGS := -eu -o pipefail -c
.DELETE_ON_ERROR:
MAKEFLAGS += --no-builtin-rules

.PHONY: help
help: ## Lists targets and their descriptions
	@##grep -E '^[a-zA-Z_-]+:.*?## .*$$' $(MAKEFILE_LIST) | sort | awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":.*?## "}; {printf "\033[36m%-30s\033[0m %s\n", $$1, $$2}'
	@grep -E '^[a-zA-Z_-]+:.*?## .*$$' $(MAKEFILE_LIST) | cut -d: -f2- | awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":.*?## "}; {printf "\033[36m%-30s\033[0m %s\n", $$1, $$2}'

  
.PHONY: init
init: ## Initializes the project directory
	pre-commit install

.PHONY: clean
clean: ## Clears out project directory generated files
