Enhancing CMake development in VS Code.

CMake Tools provides the native developer a full-featured, convenient, and powerful workflow for CMake-based projects in Visual Studio Code. It simplifies advanced configurations with support for CMake presets and enhances the development experience by supporting rich IntelliSense features, a built-in debugger for CMake scripts, and configurable CMake tasks. Its customizable interface allows for efficient tailored control of projects, while CTest integration ensures straightforward test execution and monitoring.

Ensure CMake is available on your system. A couple of options are:

• Download CMake.
• Utilize the CMake that is bundled with a Visual Studio installation.

Install the CMake Tools extension from the Extensions pane within VS Code or from the VS Code Marketplace.

Ensure that either you've added your CMake executable to your PATH, or you've adjusted the cmake.cmakePath setting to point to your CMake executable.

• Docs for comprehensive documentation.
• Quick Start to get up and running fast.
• Github for source code, issues, and contributing.

We encourage an open and collaborative development environment and welcome all contributions.
