Introduction

CuteKit is a simple - yet - powerful build system and package manager for C and C++. It:

• ✨ It uses JSON: Cutekit uses JSON instead of introducing a whole new programming language for describing the project. And also has macros to help the user experience (see Jexpr).
• ✨ It's a package manager: Cutekit package manager is based on Git, nothing is centralized.
• ✨ It's extendible: Cutekit can be extended by writing custom Python plugins.
• ✨ It's easy: the templates help the user quick-start a project.
• ✨ It's portable: Cutekit can run on MacOS Gnu/Linux and Windows.

Installation

To install Cutekit, you may use your favourite package manager if it is available. Or you can install it manually by following the instructions below.

$ git clone https://github.com/cute-engineering/cutekit

$ cd cutekit

# If you want to use the latest version of Cutekit, you can switch to the dev branch.
# $ git switch dev

$ pip install --user -e .

Quick-start

-> If you directly want to start using Cutekit for a new project, you can just run $ ck I host and it will create a new project in the host directory (you can rename it later).

-> If you want to use Cutekit for writing operating systems, you can create a new limine-based project by running $ ck I limine-barebone.

Example

If you want to see how it works you can read the doc/cutekit.md file.
