Pull request overview
This PR enhances the Makefile by adding a user-friendly "serve" target and providing helpful descriptions of available make targets. The changes make it explicit that running make without arguments does nothing by default, while guiding users toward useful commands. The CONTRIBUTING.md documentation is updated to reflect the new make serve option.
Key Changes:
- Added a
servetarget to the Makefile that prepares the environment and runsmkdocs serve - Modified the default
alltarget to print helpful descriptions of available make targets - Updated CONTRIBUTING.md to document the new
make serveoption
