bootstrap_project

Simple set of scripts and templates to set up a super basic Bazel project that builds a C++ binary or Python project.

Usage: See ./make_project --help because code doesn't lie. But in its most basic version:

# C++ project
./make_project --cpp /tmp/my_cpp_proj
cd /tmp/my_cpp_proj && ./build.sh
# Python project
./make_project --py /tmp/my_py_proj
cd /tmp/my_py_proj && ./build.sh

Requirements

C++

• Bazel
• A C++ compiler

Python

• Python3
• pip

Features

C++

• Has GTest for tests
• Adds an empty VSCode project
• Sets up a simple git repo with an initial commit. Also has .gitignore.

Python

• Uses pytest for tests
• Creates a venv
• Adds a VS Code workspace that uses the venv and has a test setup
• Sets up a simple git repo with an initial commit. Also has .gitignore.

Known Issues

• Python templates could use some more love (implement setup.py, etc.)
