How do I create Makefiles for Go projects in Go?

Creating Makefiles for Go projects can greatly simplify the process of building and managing your Go applications. Makefiles allow you to define a set of tasks and dependencies, making your development process more efficient and organized.

Here's a simple example of how to create a Makefile for a Go project:


        # Makefile for a Go project

        # Variables
        APP_NAME=myapp
        SRC=$(wildcard *.go)

        # Default target
        all: build

        # Build application
        build:
            go build -o $(APP_NAME) $(SRC)

        # Run application
        run: build
            ./$(APP_NAME)

        # Clean build files
        clean:
            rm -f $(APP_NAME)
