How to integrate it into a project with Premake

Clone the repository with git into a folder of your choice.

In your main premake5.lua, include it into your workspace and include it into your project:

workspace "NameOfWorkspace"
  architecture "x86_64"
  ...

include "path-to-Logger-folder/Logger" <-- Include it into your workspace/solution

project "NameOfProject
  ...
  
  includedirs {
    "path-to-Logger-folder/Logger/src" <-- To include the header file into your project
  }
  
  links {
    "Logger" <-- To link it to your project
  }

How to use it

Create a logger with:

Log::Logger my_logger("MyLogger"); //The name here will be displayed in the console

And then use it as you would use printf:

my_logger.Info("Info");
my_logger.Warning("Warning");
my_logger.Error("Error");
my_logger.FatalError("Fatal Error");

or:

int number = 6;
my_logger.Info("Number is: %i", number);
...

It checks if a console window is already open, if not, it will create one.
