Understand the decisions behind a production Makefile
Follow a real repository from its first target to a managed toolchain. Learn the Make model, practice the commands, and inspect every source snapshot along the way.
Makefile FYI is a growing course. As the repository evolves, commits that introduce a useful production decision can become new lessons. The counts above show what is available today.

How this course works
Start with the guided Course, then follow Concepts and Repository links whenever you want a deeper explanation or the complete source.
A focused path through real engineering decisions
The course organizes 13 milestone lessons into 3 core modules, followed by 1 appendix. Every core module and appendix begins with a free foundation, then connects the explanation to concepts and repository history.
