A CMake project template for starting C++ projects quickly with best-practice tooling preconfigured, including sanitizers, static analysis, Conan dependencies, and CI. The related gui_starter_template is archived and merged into this simplified cmake_template.

Use cases

• start a new C++ project with CMake
• C++ project template with CI and sanitizers
• boilerplate CMake project with Conan dependencies
• set up clang-tidy and cppcheck for a C++ project
• C++ template with unit and fuzz testing
• GitHub Actions matrix for C++ builds

When to choose

• starting a fresh C++ project and wanting modern tooling out of the box
• you want sanitizers, static analysis, and CI configured for you
• you use Conan for dependency management

When to avoid

• you need a GUI starter specifically - gui_starter_template is archived
• you prefer a minimal setup without developer-mode tooling
• your project uses a build system other than CMake
