Make

"Make" is a build automation tool commonly used in software development to manage the process of compiling and linking programs. It reads a file called a "Makefile," which contains rules and dependencies describing how to build a project. When a developer runs the 'make' command, the tool automatically executes the necessary steps to compile code and create executable files, ensuring that only changed parts of the code are rebuilt, which saves time and effort. Essentially, it streamlines the development process, making it more efficient and organized.
