  • C++ Format

    A modern formatting library

    cd /tmp git clone --depth 1 --branch 8.1.1 https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt.git && \ cd fmt && \ mkdir build && \ cd build && \ cmake -DFMT_TEST=OFF .. && \ make && \ make install cd /tmp git clone --depth 1 --branch yaml-cpp-0.7.0 https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp.git && \ cd yaml-cpp && \ mkdir build && \ cd build && \ cmake -DYAML_CPP_BUILD_TESTS=OFF .. && \ make && \ make install # and so on

  • yaml-cpp

    A YAML parser and emitter in C++

    cd /tmp git clone --depth 1 --branch 8.1.1 https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt.git && \ cd fmt && \ mkdir build && \ cd build && \ cmake -DFMT_TEST=OFF .. && \ make && \ make install cd /tmp git clone --depth 1 --branch yaml-cpp-0.7.0 https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp.git && \ cd yaml-cpp && \ mkdir build && \ cd build && \ cmake -DYAML_CPP_BUILD_TESTS=OFF .. && \ make && \ make install # and so on

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • conan

    Conan - The open-source C and C++ package manager

    Personally I suggest giving Conan a try though. I'm going to work on adding support to Conan at work soon.

  • ProjectTemplate

    A template project

    Here's a minimalist cmake only solution. Works great in my opinion https://github.com/ladnir/ProjectTemplate

  • cmake-conan

    CMake wrapper for conan C and C++ package manager

    If you want everything Conan-related to be silently managed by your CMake script, check this: https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
