GNU Make is a build automation tool that reads a file called a Makefile to determine which parts of a program need to be recompiled and issues the commands to do so, saving developers from manually rebuilding entire projects after small changes. It's widely used in C/C++ software development and other compiled-language projects to manage dependencies and automate repetitive build, test, and deployment tasks. Software engineers and DevOps practitioners use it as a foundational tool for managing complex build pipelines.
