Modern c++20 starter template using Hunter

This project uses hunter as a package manager

See https://github.com/ruslo/hunter

And catch2 as unit testing library

See https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2

Project Structure

CMakeLists.txt

General project configuration, Libraries

Set Project name here, or use shell script to automatically do that

include/

Contains *.h header files

src/

Contains *.cpp source files

test/

Contains *.test.cpp Catch2 unit test files

cmake/

Contains HunterGate

scripts/

Contains new project creation script that can be added to your shell path to quickly generate new c++ projects

You don't need to install this shell script, you could also just change the project name of this project in CMakeLists.txt and start from this

Example (Assuming script dir is in path):

$ new-cpp-project ExampleProject

This creates a new cmake project

Cmake Output

• Library (eg ExampleProject-lib)
• Executable (eg ExampleProject)
• Unit tests (eg ExampleProject-test)

IDE

I recommend using a CMake-based IDE like CLion from Jetbrains or similiar products to automatically build and run this project
