This template sets up a development environment for C++20. It uses the Bazel build system. A testing library google/googletest is also included with a sample test. For VSCode, it also includes a debug configuration. I'd like to add a few GitHub Actions soon too.

Bazel makes adding more packages simple. Refer to the Bazel tutorial

Here's a small post talking about my decisions (kinda): https://dietcode.io/t/cpp-build-systems

Build & run binary:

bazel run :cpp

Build & run tests:

bazel test :cpp_test

You'll want to change the project/target names etc. in the BUILD file.

Generate compile_commands.json (for Intellisense). For now, this is a manual step every time you add a new library / translation unit.

bazel run @hcc//:refresh_all

Also remember to switch the LICENSE to something more restrictive if necessary.
