Greeter

A best-practice git template for modern C++ libraries and projects.

Features

• Modern CMakeLists.txt
• Suited for single header libraries and larger projects
• Creates a library that can be installed or included locally
• Integrated test suite
• Code formatting enforced via clang-format/Format.cmake
• Continuous integration via GitHub Workflows
• Reliable dependency management via CPM.cmake
• Check compiler warnings

Roadmap

• Add code coverage checks
• Add a script to automatically rename project / switch to single-header mode

Usage

Adjust the template to your needs

• Copy this repo and replace all occurrences of "Greeter" in the CMakeLists and Readme with project's name.
• Note the comments in the CMakeLists for single-header libraries
• Have fun!

Build and run test suite

cmake -Htest -Bbuild
cmake --build build
CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE=1 cmake --build build --target test
# or simply call the executable: 
./build/GreeterTests

Run clang-format

cmake -Htest -Bbuild
# view changes
cmake --build build --target format
# apply changes
cmake --build build --target fix-format

See Format.cmake for more options.
