Installing Makes

1. Make sure that Nix is installed on your system.

2. Follow the steps at the official Makes documentation.

Using Makes

You can build and run the components of your choice, for example:

m gitlab:fluidattacks/universe@trunk /integrates/forces --help

m gitlab:fluidattacks/universe@trunk /common/melts --help

m gitlab:fluidattacks/universe@trunk /reviews --help

m gitlab:fluidattacks/universe@trunk /skims --help

Updates

You can update Makes by installing it again, but from a higher version.

In order to update the components installed with Makes no action is required on your part, updates are automatically rolled out to your machine with a delay of at most one day. However, if you want to force an update right away, just run rm -rf ~/.cache/makes, or reference an specific commit instead of @trunk.
