auto create code when i open new cpp file.
On those topic I provide mu-template that is somewhat hybrid as it supports template inserted when a new file is opened-created, but also snippets. It can be completed by lh-cpp for even more advanced C++ related snippets. Note: they are definitively not trendy but I'm still using and maintaining them.

I want some text appears whenever I create a new buffer with a certain file extension.
I'm maintaining mu-template. There exist many more plugins on the subject -- I remember a non exhaustive list on vim.wikia, now "fandom". Other people prefer pure snippets solutions where they manually request the expansion of the skeleton they wish to use.

skel-nvim: A skeleton plugin written in neovim
It's inspired by vim-skeleton which I've been using for many years for boiler plate templates. I've just moved all my config to lua over christmas break and could'n't find a lua equivalent of this plugin so I decided to write one as way to help me learn lua.

I use the vim-skeleton plugin for this.

Is there a way to automatically generate makefiles?
One option is to find a good C++ Makefile template and then using a plugin such as vim-skeleton to automatically fill a new buffer with the template.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing mu-template and vim-skeleton you can also consider the following projects:
vim-snippets - vim-snipmate default snippets (Previously snipmate-snippets)
neoformat - :sparkles: A (Neo)vim plugin for formatting code.
lh-cpp - C&C++ ftplugins suite for Vim

exoskeleton.vim - Skeleton vim improved
skel-nvim - nvim skeleton plugin
vim-minisnip - snipMate.vim based snippets plugin for vim
vim-vsnip - Snippet plugin for vim/nvim that supports LSP/VSCode's snippet format.
