I assume this means moving style checking to be triggered by `make` and/or `make test` (since that's how all of our projects build/test). We've discussed this as an alternative to git pre-commit hooks before and I like the idea!

Maybe this section could benefit from a short explanation of why style checking should be part of the build and test cycle as opposed to other options (e.g. running checks ad hoc, running them in git hooks).
