## Project history and usage

lazymake is a terminal UI for browsing, inspecting, and running Makefile targets.

### Project history

The GitHub repository was created on 2025-09-16. Its README positions the tool as a way to make large Makefiles searchable and inspectable without changing the Makefile itself.

### Adoption history

The project published v0.1.0 on 2026-01-03 and v0.4.1 on 2026-03-27. GitHub metadata reported 195 stars by 2026-05-11.

### How it is used

Users run `lazymake` in a directory with a Makefile, or pass a Makefile path, then browse targets, preview commands with make -n, inspect variables, and view dependency graphs.

### Why package nerds care

lazymake is notable as a thin TUI layer over the long-lived make workflow: it keeps the standard build tool in charge while adding discoverability for projects with many targets.
