"Easing the C++ development experience and modernizing C++ tool management"

🌐 Project Status: ALPHA

🚀 About Frate

Frate is a command-line application born from the collective aspiration of making C++ development more like rust. Previously there wasn't a good default experience for C++, we aim to change that by simplifying the project initialization step and giving an overall sane default configuration
