Note that while this tutorial sets up vcpkg as a submodule, it doesn't have to be done that way! If your users already have a vcpkg install they want to use, it is good to allow them to (via CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE) so different projects can share the same vcpkg install.
EDIT: Also thanks to @Byron_Vega, the command ""vcpkg new --application" will simplify creation of the .json files!

Do you have a discord? Also, what is your plan moving forward?

@@ItsYouAreNotYour Not for this channel specifically, I'll get one made. Plan is a bit loose! Suggestions are welcome

Welcome back! Love this, your timing couldn't have been more perfect. Been wanting to get back into programming again. 👍💖

Awesome stuff just got to try this and worked pretty well, while reading the documentation I found out that the command "vcpkg new --application" creates the both the vcpkg.json and the vcpkg-configuration.json files so that you don't have to do it manually.

You know the language is cooked when there is a 20-minute video about setting up a project on it.

You know the language is good when ppl are still making tutorials for it in 2025

How is it cooked to set up an entire project? With a bunch of extraneous shit added on top.
