+## Make
+
+`make` is a automation tool that helps we to executing commands in a more organized way. It is used to compile and build large projects, but it can be used for any task that requires executing a series of commands.
+
+Its usefull when we have a project with multiple files and we need to compile them in a specific order. Instead of compiling each file manually, we can use `make` to automate the process.
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+make [target]
+
+# passing a Makefile
+
+make -f /foo/bar/Makefile [target]
+
+```
+
+## Makefile
+
+A `Makefile` is a file that contains a set of rules used by `make`.
+
+### Syntax
+
+```makefile
+target: dependencies
+    command
+```
+
+- `target`: The name of the target to be executed.
+- `dependencies`: The files or targets that the target depends on. If any of the dependencies are newer than the target, the command will be executed.
+- `command`: The command to be executed.
+
+### Example
+
+```makefile
+hello: hello.c
+    gcc -o hello hello.c
+```
+
+In this example, we have a target called `hello` that depends on the file `hello.c`. The command `gcc -o hello hello.c` is executed to compile the `hello.c` file.
+
+### Variables
+
+Variables can be defined in a `Makefile` to store values that can be reused throughout the file.
+
+```makefile
+CC = gcc
+CFLAGS = -Wall -Wextra
+PATH += /usr/local/bin # append to PATH
+
+hello: hello.c
+    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o hello hello.c
+```
