Thoughts on adding `make help`?

[mrbazzan]

What is the general thought on adding make help to the Makefile?
It would help to quickly find out the possible commands without
opening the Makefile.

This could be a good issue to work on unless there is a way to do this
that I don't know or any other specific reasons.

Hi @mrbazzan

I always forget that the makefile exists but having a help command or something might help me remember the commands and why they are useful!

I found this article, I think it's an interesting way to implement a help command and it's probably slightly easier to keep it up to date than doing the help text completely by hand: https://marmelab.com/blog/2016/02/29/auto-documented-makefile.html

Hi @matthiask,
Thanks for the article.
Please assign the issue to me
(I don't have the commons-thing setup).
