A collection of CMake example configurations arranged as a progressive tutorial, from basic builds to advanced features like testing, static analysis, and packaging. It is a learning resource for developers building C++ projects with CMake.

Use cases

• learn cmake from scratch
• set up unit testing with gtest in cmake
• add static analysis with cppcheck to a cmake project
• package a c++ project with cpack
• configure clang-format in cmake
• structure a modular c++ project with cmake

When to choose

• you are new to CMake and want a step-by-step tutorial with runnable examples
• you need reference snippets for testing, static analysis, or packaging in CMake
• you want a free MIT-licensed resource to onboard a C++ team to CMake

When to avoid

• you need official, exhaustive CMake documentation rather than curated examples
• you are looking for a build tool or library to include in your project rather than learning material
• you need examples verified on platforms other than Linux without adaptation
