Overview
cmake-init is a command-line tool that generates modern CMake projects with proper structure for libraries and executables. It creates projects compatible with CMake's FetchContent system, separates developer and consumer build targets, includes installation rules and integrates optional tools like clang-tidy, cppcheck, code coverage and documentation generation. Use it to quickly bootstrap C and C++ projects with best practices built in.
