Makefile

Makefile for project management​

Makefile is designed for building, running, and testing a Go project. It handles OS-specific operations for Unix-based systems (Linux/macOS) and Windows.

Targets​

all

The default target that builds and test the application by running the build and test target.

build

Builds the Go application

run

Runs the Go application by executing the cmd/api/main.go file.

docker-run and docker-down

These targets manage a database container:

  • Unix-based systems: Tries Docker Compose V2 first, falls back to V1 if needed.
  • Windows: Uses Docker Compose without version fallback.

clean

Removes the compiled binary (main or main.exe depending on the OS).

watch

Enables live reload for the project using the air tool:

  • Unix-based systems: Checks if air is installed and prompts for installation if missing.
  • Windows: Uses PowerShell to manage air installation and execution.
