Cmake project template

This template implements a modern multi-repo approach for modern C++ libraries and executables and can easily be adapted to a mono-repo if single target is desired.

Every multi-repo subproject is self-contained and can be isolated with no changes needed (except the preamble.cmake module).

Build as multi-repo project

cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON
ninja -C build

Test

./build/<subproject>/*_test --gtest_color=true

Build one project at a time

cmake -S <path_to_subproject> -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON
