Makefiles Lecture

Date Created: 2024-03-04

Thanks to Daniel Chen and the DSCI 310 class at UBC for this lecture and information!

Main Ideas

Here are the main things we went over in this class:

• How to transfer script information to be used in the makefile, using the docopt library
• Creating a Makefile, such that it runs
• How to make a report with the saved outputs integrated
• Creating a website in the root folder of your repository
• etc.

Other notes:

• If github pages is set to /root, it will only look for index.html
  • It can also be set to /docs, and then you don't need the exact naming
  • There is one other way, where you have to make another specific file type
• Use git diff to see what changed if you are confused
