A GitHub template repository for kick-starting modern C++ projects with CMake. It bundles CI workflows, testing, code coverage, formatting, reproducible dependency management via CPM.cmake, and Doxygen documentation out of the box.

Use cases

  • start a new modern c++ project
  • c++ project template with cmake and ci
  • set up github actions for a c++ library
  • add code coverage and sanitizers to a c++ project
  • boilerplate for a header-only c++ library
  • reproducible dependency management in cmake

When to choose

  • starting a fresh C++ library or executable project and wanting CI, tests, and packaging preconfigured
  • you want modern CMake practices and CPM.cmake dependency management without manual setup
  • you need cross-platform GitHub Actions workflows, coverage, and formatting from day one

When to avoid

  • you have an existing C++ project with its own build system and only need individual pieces
  • you need a build system other than CMake
  • you want a full application framework rather than a starting skeleton
