TL;DR

# Assign default values, but allow override.
# Usage: `make override_me=new_value target`.
override override_me ?= default_value


# Load env files.
# If prefixed with '-' it does not error should any of the files not exist.
include .env
-include .env.local .env.extra


# Export variables for all programs to see.
# Only exported in the commands' sub-shells.
export

# Export specific variables only.
export override_me


# Assign shell command outputs as values.
command_output = ${shell command with args}


# Target-specific variables.
# Call targets from targets.
# Check variables are set.

target_name: dash_instead_of_underscore = ${subst _,-,${override_me}}

Load .env files in the Makefile

Use one of those at the top of a Makefile to include and make available all variables in .env:

include .env
-include .env.local .env.extra
ifneq (,$(wildcard ./.env))
  include .env
  export
endif

ifneq + wildcard is a typical way to check a file exists.

include .env imports .env into the Makefile variables.
If prefixed with '-' (-include), it does not error nor warning should any of the included files not exist.

export without parameters exports all variables set until now.
