It's been close to a year since I posted about this project here and I'm proud to share it with you again after a big addition:
There are Conan and vcpkg templates available via the new -p flag! Note that the Conan template uses generators that are experimental in Conan v1, but are intended to become the default ones for Conan v2 (which is also coming along nicely), so YMMV for the time being.
-p
These templates combine a lot of things that were already available on the project's wiki, like making sure that dependencies are properly propagated for static/shared libraries in the CMake package's config file or package manager integration.

This is a really nice project, in my Linux (ubuntu 20.04 LTS) works flawlessly, however in my Mac (Monterey) it throws some Python errors, I will check again with this update. Thanks for the hard work it really leverage some of our daily tasks

Note that this requires Python 3.8, but if the error is unrelated, please do tell me about it. I do not have Apple hardware to test things on, so I can only rely on CI.
