Makefile Runner

A Visual Studio Code extension that adds a Makefile Scripts panel to the Explorer. It automatically detects targets in a Makefile and lets you click to run them — just like the NPM Scripts panel.

Preview

Features

  • 🛠 Detects all top-level Makefile targets
  • ▶️ One-click to run make <target>
  • 🧠 No configuration required

How It Works

  1. Opens Makefile in your workspace
  2. Parses lines like: build:, test:, run:
  3. Adds clickable entries in the Makefile panel

Limitations

  • Doesn’t support .PHONY, dependencies, or multi-line targets (yet)
