You can check the Makefile in the moby repository

moby/moby/blob/master/Makefile

.PHONY: all binary dynbinary build cross help install manpages run shell test test-docker-py test-integration test-unit validate validate-% win

DOCKER ?= docker
BUILDX ?= $(DOCKER) buildx

# set the graph driver as the current graphdriver if not set
DOCKER_GRAPHDRIVER := $(if $(DOCKER_GRAPHDRIVER),$(DOCKER_GRAPHDRIVER),$(shell docker info -f '{{ .Driver }}' 2>&1))
export DOCKER_GRAPHDRIVER

DOCKER_GITCOMMIT := $(shell git rev-parse HEAD)
export DOCKER_GITCOMMIT

# allow overriding the repository and branch that validation scripts are running
# against these are used in hack/validate/.validate to check what changed in the PR.
export VALIDATE_REPO
export VALIDATE_BRANCH
export VALIDATE_ORIGIN_BRANCH

# env vars passed through directly to Docker's build scripts
# to allow things like `make KEEPBUNDLE=1 binary` easily

There is a guide as well for contributors
