- Go to the GitHub repository you want to fork.
- Click the "Fork" button in the upper right-hand corner of the repository page.
- Select your username or organization where you want to fork the repository. This creates a copy of the repository in your GitHub account.
- Open your terminal (Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on macOS and Linux).
- Use this in your terminal
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<repository-name>.git
This README provides a step-by-step guide on how to execute and run C++ programs within Visual Studio Code using the "C++-program" repository.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:
-
Visual Studio Code: If you haven't already, download and install Visual Studio Code from the official website.
-
C/C++ Extension: Install the "C/C++" extension for Visual Studio Code. Open VS Code, go to the Extensions view by clicking on the square icon in the sidebar or pressing
Ctrl+Shift+X
, and search for "C/C++". Install the one provided by Microsoft. -
C++ Compiler: You need a C++ compiler to build and run your C++ programs. If you don't have it installed, you can follow instructions here: Install a C++ Compiler on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
-
Clone the Repository: Start by cloning the "C++-program" repository to your local machine using either the HTTPS or SSH link provided on the repository page.
git clone <repository_url>
-
Open the Repository in VS Code: Open Visual Studio Code, and from the menu, select
File > Open Folder...
Navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository and select the folder. -
Create or Open a C++ File: Inside the repository folder, you can either create a new C++ file (e.g.,
my_program.cpp
) or open an existing one. -
Write Your C++ Code: Write your C++ program in the opened file. For example:
#include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl; return 0; }
-
Compile the C++ Program: Open a terminal in Visual Studio Code by going to
Terminal > New Terminal
. In the terminal, navigate to the directory containing your C++ file and use the following command to compile it:g++ my_program.cpp -o my_program
-
Run the Executable: After successful compilation, run your program by typing the following command in the terminal:
./my_program
You should see the output of your program in the terminal.
Visual Studio Code also supports debugging C++ programs. To set breakpoints, inspect variables, and step through your code, follow these steps:
-
Set a breakpoint by clicking in the gutter next to the line numbers.
-
Press
F5
or go toRun > Start Debugging
to launch the debugger. -
Use the debugging controls in the top menu bar to step through your code and inspect variables.
You have successfully set up and run C++ programs in Visual Studio Code using the "C++-program" repository. Feel free to explore more advanced features and optimize your development process as you become more familiar with both C++ programming and Visual Studio Code.
Happy coding!
