cpp_gen is a 42 cpp project generator. It helps you to quickly set up a new cpp project with classes in orthodox canonical form.

Follow these steps to install cpp_gen:

Run the following command in your terminal:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goncalo1021pt/cpp_gen/main/install.sh | bash

After running the command, verify that the local bin directory is in your PATH. This is necessary so that you can run the cpp_gen.sh script from any directory. If it is not, add the following line to your .bashrc or .zshrc file:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin

After the installation you can change the Makefile in the ~/cpp_gen directory to your liking. Just make sure to keep the NAME variable as it is, since it is used to generate the project name.

After installation, you can use cpp_gen.sh to generate a new cpp project on your current directory. If the program only has 1 argument it will create the project. All other aguments will be classes of that program. Here's an example:

cpp_gen.sh my_new_project optional_class1 optional_class2
