Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Using CMake and managing dependencies
Actually they fixed most your gripes with the new vcpkg.json feature (manifests or whatever they call it). It’s now enough to have vcpkg.json and include https://github.com/build-cpp/vcpkg_template/blob/simplified-vscode/cmake/vcpkg.cmake before/after your project() call. Everything will be built in your build folder and nothing global anymore 🎉

Dependencies Belong in Version Control
vcpkg may expire assets after 1.5 years, so achieve long-term reproducibility you will need to cache your dependencies.... Somewhere. Not sure what the expected solution is.

My first Software Release using GitHub Release
There were various approaches recommended depending on our language and ecosystem. My classmates who developed using Node.js were recommended npm, and PyPI or poetry for Python. Since my program is written in C++, I was recommended to look into one of vcpkg or conan, but I ultimately did not use either package manager.

Anyone else frustrated with Conan2?
Which dependencies are not in vcpkg? We can ask them to add it. It’s pretty easy just open an issue there https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues .

Configuring incomplete due to CMake Error(missing OpenCVConfig.cmake ProtobufConfig.cmake and TIFF etc.)
Dear Fictrac team, I am hoping to install Fictrac in our windows 11 x64 laptop (Visual Studio 2019, cMake 3.26.4). I followed the installation guideline on github page fictrac and used the latest vcpkg

Why does Arch Linux have a vulkan-devel group, but does not package the LunarG Vulkan SDK?
This works fine if one wants to do stuff like clang main.cpp -lvulkan, or even find_package(Vulkan REQUIRED) in CMake, but it doesn't define VULKAN_SDK, and therefore doesn't work with vcpkg's Vulkan support, for instance. A fair bit of Vulkan development, tutorials, etc. assume that the entire SDK is installed, as-is.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing vcpkg_template and Vcpkg you can also consider the following projects:
cmake-sfml-project - Repository template for SFML projects using CMake
conan - Conan - The open-source C and C++ package manager
corrosion - Marrying Rust and CMake - Easy Rust and C/C++ Integration!
CPM.cmake - 📦 CMake's missing package manager. A small CMake script for setup-free, cross-platform, reproducible dependency management.
CppCMakeVcpkgTemplate - A template project to build a C++/CMake/vcpkg based projects with IDE and GitHub Actions. Build is sped up with caching of artifacts.
Boost.Program_options - Boost.org program_options module
cmake-init - The missing CMake project initializer
Ncurses - ncurses Git mirror
cmake-examples - Useful CMake Examples
vulkan - Haskell bindings for Vulkan
meson - The Meson Build System
stb - stb single-file public domain libraries for C/C++
