Can the makefile be converted to npm scripts?

See original GitHub issue

I’m developing on Windows and it would be inconvenient to set up an Ubuntu VM or install Cygwin to get make locally. Is there anything in Makefile that can’t be converted to a "scripts" command within package.json?

Hey @JoshuaKGoldberg thanks for the issue.

We have plans to do this. We’re working on getting the tooling right in some of the smaller projects which have more modern codebases (such as https://github.com/chaijs/type-detect, see for example https://github.com/chaijs/type-detect/pull/108). Once we get it right there we’ll be applying it to all projects under the chaijs org. That is to say: it’ll happen, soon 😄.

Hey @JoshuaKGoldberg thanks for the issue.

This would be awesome! We’ve added this to our Roadmap https://github.com/chaijs/chai/projects/2! We’ll be releasing chai 5 soon, but for now I’ll close this issue because it is tracked on our roadmap.
