CPP conan template

A template repo to quickly start cpp projects using conan package manager and CMake.

Configure

1. Change project name in CMakeList.txt.
2. Update dependencies in conanfile.txt.

./setup.sh

ln -s compile_commands.json ../compile_commands.json # link compile_commands.json to home dir (optinal)
