make.nvim

Make.nvim is a plugin to easily run Makefiles.

Run Makefile targets directly from Neovim in a persistent terminal split.

This plugin makes working with Makefiles inside Neovim a breeze. It parses your top-level Makefile, lists all available targets, and runs the selected target in an embedded terminal — without disrupting your workflow.
