Cargo CPP

Cargo C++ project generator outputs a folder structure:

cargo-cpp new -t my-project -d my-company

Results in a project folder structure like this:

my-project
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── external
│   └── CMakeLists.txt
├── include
│   └── my-company
│       └── my-project
│           └── my-project.h
├── README.md
├── source
│   ├── main.cpp
│   └── my-project.cpp
└── test

Afterwards build and execute the project:

cd my-project
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
./my-project-app

Use ./cargo-cpp --help for more help.

Run with logging:

RUST_LOG=INFO cargo-cpp new -t my-project -d my-company
