> There are several options for this. The best one is probably making an extra makefile. Gnu make has a well documented order of files it searches to find the default makefile. You can hijack make by defining a higher priority make file and put development targets in there. Ideally that'd be done by calling make on the other makefile. You can then add your customized makefile to .gitignore. You can also add .gitignore to .gitignore
 
<project>/.git/info/exclude is used for ignoring files that shouldn't be put into .gitignore.
