Usage

Basic usage: type mm, if there is a Makefile in the current working directory, all targets will be listed. Start typing to filter targets.

Parameters:

• -h or --help to print the help.
• -f <filename> to specify a makefile if you have several in the cwd, or if you have a non-standard name.
• -i to start MakeMefish in interactive mode. In interactive mode, the selected target will be executed and you will then be returned to the selection prompt. Please note that executed commands won't be added to your command history.
• <foo> eg. add an arbitrary keyword to start MakeMeFish with a pre-populated query (editable at runtime)

Examples

mm build will start MakeMeFish with an initial query which will filter for targets containing the substring build. Similarly, mm foo bar will filter on targets containing both foo and bar

---

mm -f MyFancyMakeFile will start MakeMeFish and parse the file MyFancyMakeFile instead of trying to find a makefile with a GNU make standard name.

---

mm -i will run MakeMeFish in interactive mode

---

All flags and parameters can be combined, and added in any order, eg.

mm foo -i -f MyFancyMakeFile is equivalent to mm -f MyFancyMakeFile foo -i
