Hey everyone 👋,

I'm Lars and have been coding C++ for over 10 years, both for my studies and professionally. After becoming more and more frustrated with using monorepos or submodules for dependency management and finding the "typical" external C++ dependency managers lacking in many ways at the time (e.g. Vcpkg had no proper version locking and Conan didn't properly support git), I decided to write this script to allow us a simple way to manage dependencies using only CMake. Since then it became my primary package manager for C++, as it fulfils (almost) all my needs and I see many advantages in combining the build system with the dependency manager. I also hope this allows us to more easily collaborate and share open-source projects with dependencies. I hope you find it as useful as I do!

Thanks to @iboB for suggesting to open up the discussions!

The newest update (0.28.0) drastically improved my visual studio configuration time!

I can definitely see using CPM for our company in the future 👍🏽
