4.4.2.3 Finish (‘finish’)

finish

With no arguments, the GNU Make debugger runs to the end of the target. Any prerequisite checking and building that needs to occur is done and any shell commands that occur get run.

This is analogous to “step out” in programming-language debuggers.

finish [count]

Runs a “finish” count times, putting the program that many levels up the current target stack. A count of 0 is the current target and that’s the same as giving no count.
