What are CMake templates and how do I use them?

CMake templates are predefined configurations that help streamline the build process for C++ projects. They allow you to set up your project structure and settings efficiently.

Can you give me an example of a simple CMake template?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(MyProject)

add_executable(MyExecutable main.cpp)

How do I customize a CMake template for my project?

You can customize a CMake template by modifying the project name, adding source files, and setting specific compiler options as needed.

Are there any best practices for using CMake templates?

Yes, it's best to keep your templates modular, use variables for paths, and document your CMake files for clarity.
