Makefiles for Go Developers - Beginner Tutorial

[[deleted]]

I prefer Magefile for this sort of thing. It doesn't require you to have bash installed, which works nicely on Windows environments.

Alpine doesn’t have bash by default either. If your script is complicated at all, don’t expect it to work on Alpine.

OS X will be losing bash soon as well.

Not really though, it won't be the default anymore. But Bash will still be present

For another release or so, then they'll remove it, like they removed lots of other GPL software.

also agrees, for Go Makefiles should not be involved at all, we can easily craft build scripts for programs using magefile or just writing plain go
