It would be helpful to provide instructions for using the Makefile, perhaps in the Readme.md. Also consider including a help rule in the Makefile to print usage instructions when someone tries to run make with no arguments. e.g. add the following chunk above all:
help:
@echo '----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
@echo ' Makefile for de-identifying clinical data '
@echo ' '
@echo ' Usage: '
@echo ' '
@echo ' Deidentify a dataset in the X directory: '
@echo ' '
@echo ' make all '
@echo ' '
@echo ' Run the deidentification script against a test dataset: '
@echo ' '
@echo ' make test '
@echo '----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
@echo ' '
