cpp-tmpl

An opinionated C++ template for people used to Rust and Cargo.

Build system

Development tasks are executed with mise. Examples:

• mise run build to compile the program
• mise run to run the program (default task)
• mise task ls to list avaiable tasks

Under the hood, mise uses cmake and ninja to compile the code. The installation of cmake and ninja is handled by mise. You can pin their version in mise.toml if need be.

Language support in editors

...should just work via clangd, but you have to run the build at least once.

Code organization

Source files (*.cpp) go in src/. src/main.cpp is the program entry point. Header files go in include/. Tests go in tests/.
