# Simplifying NixOS-Related Commands
To simplify NixOS-related commands, I utilize a Makefile, which proves to be very convenient. Alternatively, you can also use similar tools like [just](https://github.com/casey/just) and [cargo-make](https://github.com/sagiegurari/cargo-make) for this purpose. Here, I will provide my approach as a reference.

Below is an example of how my Makefile looks:
>**NOTE**: The target names in the Makefile should not conflict with any file or directory names in the current directory. Otherwise, the targets will not execute.
```makefile

Save the above Makefile to the root directory of your Nix flake. Then, you can use `make deploy` to deploy the configuration to your local machine and `make aqua` to deploy the configuration to all your remote servers.
By Save the above Makefile to the root directory of your Nix flake. Then, I can use `make deploy` to deploy the configuration to my local machine, and `make idols` to deploy the configuration to all my remote servers.
This approach simplifies the execution of NixOS commands by abstracting them behind target names in the Makefile, providing a more user-friendly and convenient experience.
