Explore the CMake Tools documentation
CMake Tools was created separately from the CMake extension, which provides language coloring and autocompletion support.
CMake Tools is not the same as CMake. There are many great resources around to learn how to use CMake.
- Jason Turner's C++ Weekly - Intro to CMake is a good introduction.
- CMake's documentation
- CMake's "Mastering CMake" book
- "Professional CMake"- a $30 book by Craig Scott (one of the maintainers of CMake).
