Show HN: I made a utility I named pmake to generate project files

My code works but it could probably be improved. Something I'm worried about is this part of the code

  printf '
  ;;; Directory Local Variables            -*- no-byte-compile: t -*-
   ;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables")

 (setq flycheck-gcc-include-path "'$indir'")
  ' > .dir-locals.el

It generates a .dir-locals.el file that forces flycheck (an emacs package) to look inside the include directory inside the project folder.

I'm a little worried about whether setq is the right approach. Any help would be appreciated!
