A Bite-Sized Intro To Makefiles

This repo contains an introduction to makefiles. It uses the example of using the command line tool pandoc to convert markdown files to html. We assume you already have pandoc and installed.

This guide errs on the side of being incomplete and oversimplified for the sake of clarity.

1. Clone this repo
2. cd into each directory
3. Read the Makefile
4. Read the readme.md
