CPM.cmake Manager

Provides an easy way to manage packages included using CPM.cmake from within Visual Studio Code.

Features

• Show list of packages included using CPM.cmake in the Explorer view
  • Each entry has a button to open the source directory of the package in a new window
  • In case it is a Git repository, it will also try to fetch the latest tags from the remote repository and show if a newer version is available
• Provides a command to clean individual packages from the CPM.cmake source cache
• Provides a command to clean to global CPM.cmake source cache, which also triggers a clean and reconfigure of the CMake project

Some things I might add in the future

• Show link to package's Git repository in the package list
• Ability to turn off automatic check for newer versions
• Ability to manually trigger to check for newer versions

Thanks to

• The contributors of the CPM.cmake project for providing such a useful tool.
  • Also thanks to @TheLartians in particular for starting the project and making the logo (which I also incorporated into the icon of this extension).
• The maintainers of the CMake Tools extension for making CMake easy to work with in VS Code.
