When step one of using a tool is to disable the tools primary benefit (everything is phone) you’re reaching for the wrong tool. Like it or lump it, make deploy is much neater than docker build -t foo . && docker tag foo $item && docker login && docker push && helm apply

I wish there was a flag for make which set it to be a command runner by default for the current makefile.

Make's clear benefit is laying out a process as a series of dependencies.
