Hi!

So I was having trouble finding a non-manual way to build and deploy PICO-8 zips automatically to itch.io... At first I was juggling a few bash scripts, then I tried to do something with "-x build.p8", but it felt a bit cumbersome.

And then I took a step back and realised what I wanted was really a good old Makefile 😁

So here it is, a Makefile to build stuff and publish it to itch.io, all automated!

Have a look, try it out, and let me know what you think, what could be better, etc. I'm still very new to the PICO-8 scene, so I don't really know what the standard workflow looks like, but I like to over-engineer things to make my life easier 😂

So glad I found this! I'm facing a similar issue and have been looking for build tools. For me it's not deploying to itch, but building the webapp and maybe modifying the README.md before pushing to GitHub.

Will definitely be using this as a reference, if nothing else.
