CMake install schema for single- and multi-config generators
https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init This is how you do CMake properly. If you deviate from its install rules you are highly likely to do something wrong.

cgen: another declarative CMake configuration generator
CMake itself is as declarative as a build systems need to be. For anything nontrivial, these "declarative" solutions all fall apart. Just use https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init, learn CMake and you won't have any issues.

How does one actually build a C++ project
If you want something with a (mostly) Just Works experience then just use https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init
- CMakeList.txt, add_executable vs. add_library vs. target_link_libraries vs. target_link_directories
- Check out my tasks.json for C++ of VScode
- Clang++ Halp

Putting libraries in program folder
For CMake basics check out the official "Getting started" tutorial: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/guide/tutorial/index.html, as well as Introduction to Modern CMake. You can also get inspired by the CMake project generator cmake-init

Is Using Project-Templates A Good Thing For Understanding CMake Better?
I really want to understand CMake in a deeper way. Recently, I have found many project templates like this one: https://github.com/TheLartians/ModernCppStarter. Is using theses templates a good idea to understand how to use CMake very well in a bigger project? Or what alternatives are there? Can anyone recommend good resources, which are the current best practice in these cases. Thank you in advance.

Looking for a CMake Guru
Have a look here https://github.com/TheLartians/ModernCppStarter - this project uses author's own CPM cmake-based package manager which is easy to use (for projects written with cmake). It's a nice starting point.
