Welcome to the moderncpp_vscode wiki!

moderncpp_vscode is a simple toy repository that demonstrates (one possible way) how to set up VS Code when working with C++ projects based on CMake.

This tutorial is not complete and doesn't claim to contain the best or even the recommended ways how to do things.

The following setup works very well for the author of this repository on his machine (MacBook Pro with macOS Sequoia Version 15.1.1). It might need to be adjusted for other machines.
