About C/C++ Config
VSCode C/C++ Config
Creates config files with pre-defined settings for modern C/C++ projects.
The following file will be created in the local .vscode folder, this might override the already present file:
• settings.json: Best default settings for C/C++, CMake etc. extensions
The following files will be created in the root directory, if they are not yet present*:
• .clang-format: Configuration for the formatting tool • .clang-tidy: Configuration for the static linting tool • .editorconfig: Standard editor settings (line-feed, insert new-line, etc.) • .gitattributes: Gives attributes to pathnames • .gitingore: Specifies intentionally untracked files to ignore
The following files will be created when the root dir contains a CMakeLists.txt, if they are not yet present*:
• .pre-commit-config.yaml • .cmake-format.yaml • tools/run-clang-format.py • tools/run-clang-tidy.py • .github/workflows/documentation.yaml • .github/workflows/macos.yaml • .github/workflows/pre-commit.yaml • .github/workflows/ubuntu.yaml • .github/workflows/windows.yaml
(*) If you still want to have them overridden, just delete them beforehand and execute the generate config files command again.

• 'Generate C Config Files' • 'Generate C++ Config Files'
