Cmake-playground

Welcome to Cmake-playground! 🎉

This repository is my personal sandbox for learning CMake, experimenting with builds, and having some fun along the way. Everything here is just for exploration, testing ideas, and improving my C++ project-building skills.

⚠️ Note: This is a learning space, so expect messy code, experiments that break, and lots of trial-and-error.

---

🧩 Purpose

• Learn CMake: Explore commands, targets, build types, and more.
• Experiment Freely: Try things out without worrying about production-ready code.
• Reference for Myself: Keep tips, snippets, and tricks for future projects.
• Fun: Because learning should be enjoyable 😎

---

⚡ Features

• Minimal CMake examples for personal learning
• Build configuration testing (Debug/Release)
• Experimenting with modern CMake best practices
• Playground for trying out external libraries and dependencies
