Hello BusyBox community,
my name is Boris, I would like to make a small feature request regarding
the `ash` shell.
It would be really handy to have a simple Makefile-like wrapper scripts
syntax just to execute some common commands on it:
```
hello:
echo hello
build:
docker build -t image .
push:
docker push -t image
```
Right now, if you want to have that on alpine you would have to include
make, which is about 230kb!!
Most people are doing this blackbox approach:
```
scripts/
hello.sh
build.sh
push.sh
```
Blackbox, because its not clear what's in there, you have open each
file, then your whole terminal window or IDE fills an empty file with
one/two valuable lines.
However Makefile syntax is very nice, could we just include something
like `minimake` or called it (do) which only supports naming tasks?
I think this is such a basic feature, that every language has build its
own (mix, npm, rake, etc..)
Why not include it directly into the most minimal basic shell itself to
make our scripts simpler, and the world better.
Thank you very much
Boris
