About:
Checkmake is a static analysis tool designed specifically for Makefiles to identify common issues and anti-patterns. It helps developers enforce best practices, improve readability, and catch potential errors in build scripts. The tool provides configurable rules to ensure Makefiles remain maintainable and efficient.
Key Features:
  • Detects common Makefile errors and warnings
  • Enforces code style and best practices
  • Configurable linting rules
  • Supports JSON output for CI integration
  • Fast static analysis
Use Cases:
  • CI/CD pipeline integration to enforce Makefile quality
  • Code review assistance for Makefile changes
  • Refactoring legacy Makefiles to modern standards
Alternatives:
  • checkmake – checkmake is specifically designed for Makefiles, while general linters like shellcheck focus on shell scripts
