Using makefiles

You have added some new features to your package and it is time to make a new release. To speed up this process, you will use the commands in the Makefile, saving you time and helping you to avoid missing important steps.

Remember, the Makefile bundles up commands used to modify your package, just like a Python function bundles up several lines of code.
