CppLibWithTestsAndExamples/

A cookiecutter template for a C++ project (vscode) with one lib, unittests and examples (similar to the structure crated by cargo/rust).

How to use

How to use, after installing cookiecutter (pip install cookiecutter):

  cookiecutter https://github.com/goto40/CppLibWithTestsAndExamples.git

Then enter the newly created repo and start programming (e.g. with vscode or manually)!

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

• A library is created.
• A unittest executable is created.
• Examples are created (every *.cpp file in examplesresults in one executable).
