gcreate

The idea of this project is to make a project manager and creator for C++ in golang.

The main functions of gcreate will be to create new projects and build/run them; it should be able to read (mostly, hopefully) with cmake and conan2.

To install the program call: make install and it will be added to path with the templates folder in your config/cppconfig folder
