VSCode C/C++ Config

Creates config files with pre-defined settings for modern C/C++ projects.

The following file will be created in the local .vscode folder, this might override the already present file:

• settings.json: Best default settings for C/C++, CMake etc. extensions

The following files will be created in the root directory, if they are not yet present*:

• .clang-format: Configuration for the formatting tool
• .clang-tidy: Configuration for the static linting tool
• .editorconfig: Standard editor settings (line-feed, insert new-line, etc.)
• .gitattributes: Gives attributes to pathnames
• .gitignore: Specifies intentionally untracked files to ignore

The following files will be created when the root dir contains a CMakeLists.txt, if they are not yet present*:

• .pre-commit-config.yaml
• .cmake-format.yaml
• tools/run-clang-format.py
• tools/run-clang-tidy.py
• .github/workflows/documentation.yaml
• .github/workflows/macos.yaml
• .github/workflows/pre-commit.yaml
• .github/workflows/ubuntu.yaml
• .github/workflows/windows.yaml

(*) If you still want to have them overridden, just delete them beforehand and execute the generate config files command again.

How to use

• 'Generate C Config Files'
• 'Generate C++ Config Files'
