C++ Protobuf Template Project

This is a C++ template project that demonstrates the use of Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) in a development container (devcontainer) within Visual Studio Code. The project is pre-configured with CMake and a Makefile to streamline the build, run, and development process, providing an efficient starting point for working with Protobuf in C++.

Installation Steps

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/michal34512/proto-devcontainer.git

2. Navigate to the project directory

   cd proto-devcontainer

3. Open the project in Visual Studio Code

   code .

4. Reopen in Devcontainer
   Once VS Code is open, press F1, type Reopen in Container, and select the command to launch the devcontainer environment.
5. Wait for the Devcontainer to build
   After the devcontainer is set up, open the terminal within VS Code.
6. Build and run the project

   make all
