build table

Subtables of build define metadata for a (sub)project.

Format

# pull metadata for a project named project_name
[build.project_name]
  # type of this build
  # can be either application, library or plugin
  # only one application and one library build may exist
  # type: string
  type = "application"

  # current version number for this project
  # please use semantic versioning for this
  # see https://semver.org/
  # type: string
  version = "v0.0.1"

  # specify root directory relative to this config file
  # useful if this file isn't located at the project's root
  #
  # should point to the directory containing the .git folder
  # if git is enabled
  # type:    string
  # default: "."
  root = "../../"

  # include information about the local git repository's state
  # type:    bool
  # default: true
  git = true

might generate something like

#pragma once
#include <optional>
#include <string_view>
