Yeah, just spend the two hours to learn the basics of make because it's already on pretty much every computer out there. Now for the rest of your life all your projects will have a baseline task runner, deployment strategy, infrastructure as code solution, and all around place to store random commands you need to remember, which will be in the repo from the first commit. Of course many projects will require something fancier which is fine. But make provides an 'engine' for all those things which is roughly as ubiquitous as your actual language runtime. You never have to suffer a project without them again.
