ModernCppStarter

ModernCppStarter is a pre-configured project boilerplate and bootstrapping environment for C++ libraries and executables. It provides a standardized set of CMake build configurations and templates to automate the initialization of new projects.

The project integrates a comprehensive static analysis suite and documentation automation. It includes systems for enforcing code quality through sanitizers and analyzers, as well as a pipeline for generating and deploying technical documentation during project releases.

The template covers broader development infrastructure, including dependency management, automated testing with code coverage, and continuous integration pipelines. It also incorporates build performance optimizations through compilation caching and automated code formatting enforcement.

Features
