2. Clone the service git clone your-service-repo && cd your-service-repo
3. Give a propper name to your service and replace all the occurences of "cxx_project_template" string with that name (could be done via find . -not -path ".git/*" -not -path './build_*' -type f | xargs sed -i 's/cxx_project_template/YOUR_APPLICATION_NAME/g').

Makefile

Makefile contains typicaly useful targets for development:

• make build-debug - debug build of the service with all the assertions and sanitizers enabled
• make build-release - release build of the service with LTO
• make test-debug - does a make build-debug and runs all the tests on the result
• make test-release - does a make build-release and runs all the tests on the result
• make format - run clang-format checks for all the C++ sources
• make format-fix - run clang-format fixes for all the C++ sources
• make clean - cleans the object files
• make dist-clean - clean all, including the CMake cached configurations
• make conan-setup - does a installation of all conan dependencies (automatically runs during make build-debug or make build-release)
• make lint - does a clang-tidy checks
• make lint-fix does a clang-tidy fixes

Edit Makefile.local to change the default configuration and build options.
