Re: Using Makefile to run guix shell?

That works well for just the "guix shell" command, but what if I 
want shortcuts to a whole set of commands?

For example, I might want a command to automatically generate 
project metadata from an org file running "make metadata":

metadata:
	$(GUIX-CONTAINER) -- sh -c "emacs --batch -Q  -l .init.el --eval 
	'(process-org \".metadata.org\")'"

This seems to work well, but I just wondered if putting a Makefile 
into every project root may cause conflicts for some build 
systems.

Is there something better to use than make for such command 
shortcuts?
