How can I use CMake for continuous integration?

You can use CMake with CI tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions to automate your build process. Would you like a specific example?

Yes, please provide an example with GitHub Actions.

Sure! You can create a .github/workflows/ci.yml file with the following content:

name: CMake CI

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up CMake
        uses: jwlawson/actions-setup-cmake@v1
        with:
          cmake-version: '3.19.0'
      - name: Build
        run: |
          mkdir build
          cd build
          cmake ..
          make

What if I want to run tests as well?

You can add a testing step after the build step. Modify the run command to include:

ctest

This will run the tests after building your project.
