cmake-examples

Clearly demystifies CMake's install commands and package management, with dedicated examples showing how to create and use installable libraries, addressing a common pain point.

Emphasizes target-based approaches, generator expressions, and contemporary patterns over legacy methods, helping users transition to best practices as seen in the use of find_package with CONFIG.

Includes hands-on tips for generating compile_commands.json, setting DEBUG_POSTFIX, and using command-line defines, providing immediate value for real-world development workflows.

Recommends a consistent directory layout for libraries to work seamlessly with both find_package and FetchContent, reducing include path conflicts and improving modularity.
