"If you just want to see what I did, best to read the makefile directly."

Sometimes I'm amazed by the power of a good makefile that allows replicating a perhaps fairly complex set of inter-dependent targets. I wish this approach was used more in academic research, even though fitting data analysis and modelling within a standard makefile can get tricky (e.g. some passages going through remote cluster computing, some models involving large number of files that would need to be listed as dependencies)
