Cget
A non-intrusive, decentralized package manager for C++ libraries using CMake.
What is Cget?
cget is a package manager for C++ libraries that uses CMake for dependency retrieval and installation. It solves the problem of managing C++ dependencies by providing a simple, non-intrusive way to download and install CMake packages from various sources. The tool works with existing CMake projects without requiring modifications, making it immediately compatible with most C++ libraries.
C++ developers and teams using CMake as their build system who need a straightforward way to manage library dependencies. It's particularly useful for projects that want to avoid complex dependency management setups or vendor lock-in.
Developers choose cget because it works immediately with existing CMake packages without requiring conversion or special hooks. Its decentralized approach and recipe system simplify installing common libraries, while maintaining compatibility with standard CMake workflows.
