How can I use CLI in a GNU Makefile?

I'd like to set a GNU Make variable as an OP CLI session so that make commands can use 1Password. Any ideas? I know that I can set it as an environment variable before using make. I'm curious if there is a way to set it inside a makefile.

    Alternatively, you can set a Make variable, set as an export, and it will be available for use in sub-shells created by Make. Pass the --session option to your commands to refer to it.

    ```
    export OPTOKEN := $(shell op signin --raw --account https://my.1password.com)

    all:
    op --session $$OPTOKEN item list --format json
    ```

    Try something like:


    all:
    eval $$(op signin --account https://my.1password.com) && op item list --format json | jq -c '.[]'
