Project mention: Show HN: MakeMe – A Makefile tool rewritten from Fish to Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-01-07
Hi HN,
A few years ago, I wrote a tool called MakeMeFish. MakeMeFish is a wrapper around fzf to list Makefile targets and show what they contain. I use MakeMeFish myself every day, it's a pretty simple tool but it has been immensely useful to me and many others.
MakeMeFish is great, but only works in Fish shell. I've been planning a rewrite to support other shells for years, but hadn't gotten around to do it. We all know that AI tools are great at writing boilerplate python, js and java code, but struggle with novel and edge case code. When Gemini 2.5 was released, I used MakeMeFish as my foundation for trying out an AI assisted rewrite of a specialized tool. Short story, it went really well.
I've also missed writing blog posts. We should do more of those. Especially ones handwritten ones. I took the opportunity to write about the conversion, link below.
If you like and utilize fzf (Which you should), I truly think MakeMe can be a great starting point for writing fzf wrapper tools in general.
I'd be delighted to hear if it's useful to you, and if you have any feedback :)
