Description
Adding .PHONY to all Makefile commands. .PHONY tells make that a target does not represent a real file, but rather a command we want to execute (e.g. build). This prevents issues if a file or directory with the same name exists.
I’m also following a common pattern I’ve used in other projects: declaring .PHONY directly next to each target instead of grouping all .PHONY declarations at the bottom. This makes it easier to notice and reduces the chance that new targets are added without being marked as .PHONY.
