  Take a look at one of my Makefiles[0]. It uses most features Make has to offer (to much so). It doesn't matter what state you start from, fresh clones repo or outdated virtualenv. Running `make run` will do everything needed to run the application instance, `make test` will run the testsuite. Each command is it's own "functional" block of shell script with it's inputs (prerequisites) and outputs (target). All recipies will run in Bash on all system btw, see the first line of the Makefile.

  Still, a Makefile with only targets, no prerequisites is less cruft than a Bash script with a switch statement. But eventually your (team) needs will grow and you start to introduce more logic and dependencies. This is where Make shines for me.
