# Makefiles
# Learning Makefiles: A Beginner's Guide
Makefiles are essential in the Linux ecosystem for managing program compilation and linking. Let's explore what they are, why they exist, and how to create a basic Makefile.
for running this tutorial in your shell :
```
$ git clone https://github.com/SkillfulElectro/Makefiles.git
$ make
```
the automatated version opens each example for you and then runs it to you see the result .
## What Are Makefiles?
Makefiles guide the `make` utility during compilation and linking. They determine which parts of a program need recompilation, making development more efficient.
## Why Do Makefiles Exist?
Makefiles decide which files require recompilation. When files change, Make ensures only necessary parts get recompiled.
## Alternatives to Make
While Make is widely used, other build systems exist:
- **SCons**, **CMake**, **Bazel**, and **Ninja** for C/C++ projects.
- **Ant**, **Maven**, and **Gradle** for Java.
- **Go**, **Rust**, and **TypeScript** have their own build tools.
- Interpreted languages like **Python**, **Ruby**, and raw **JavaScript** don't need Makefiles.
## Versions and Types of Make
This guide focuses on **GNU Make**, the standard implementation on Linux and macOS.
## Basic Makefile Example
Create a `Makefile` with the following content:
```makefile
hello:
echo "Hello, World"
```
Remember to use TABs for indentation. Run make in the same directory to see the output:
```makefile
$ make
echo "Hello, World"
Hello, World
```
