# Overview
IXM is a CMake library to help reduce the amount of toil required to perform
common operations within a CMake based project, so they can focus more on
writing their code, and less on managing their CMake.
This means:
- Reducing the amount of CMake written across multiple projects.
- Not forcing CDash features onto the rest of us.
- Setting reasonable defaults found in most CMake projects.
- A large focus on generator expressions and properties to speed up
configuration times.
- Better tooling integration with Protobuf, gRPC, Doxygen, and more!
- Better GitHub Actions integration.
- Easier to write `find_package` files.
# Usage
Using IXM is very simple, as you can rely on the `FetchContent` feature
provided by CMake. IXM uses a custom URL to shorten the `FetchContent_Declare`
call.
```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.31)
include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(ixm URL https://get.ixm.one)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(ixm)
```
For more information on using IXM (including *version pinning*), please read
the [documentation](https://ixm.one/guides/installation)!
