Building and installing with make

chezmoi can be built with GNU make, assuming you have the Go toolchain installed.

Running make will build a chezmoi binary in the current directory for the host OS and architecture. To embed version information in the binary and control installation the following variables are available:

Variable	Example	Purpose
$VERSION	v2.0.0	Set version
$COMMIT	3895680a...	Set the git commit at which the code was built
$DATE	2019-11-23T18:29:25Z	The time of the build
$BUILT_BY	homebrew	The packaging system performing the build
$PREFIX	/usr	Installation prefix
$DESTDIR	install-root	Fake installation root

Running make install will install the chezmoi binary in ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/bin.
