Description

I have multiple repositories, and in same repository, multiple build targets as well
How do i specify multiple makefile.makefilePath & makefile.makeDirectory
these should be atleast repository/project specific & not global, tied to user vscode settings.json
It should be in .vscode of the specific project or repository

Research direction

Start with the project’s .vscode configuration and the user settings.json entries for makefile.makefilePath and makefile.makeDirectory. Determine how multiple repositories and build targets are currently represented, then define completion as project-specific configuration supporting multiple makefiles without relying on global user settings.
