These correspond to the cmake --build command.
are a standardized way to share build configurations and settings through JSON files, eliminating the need for long, manual command-line arguments. They allow you to define everything from compiler toolchains to build directories in a format that both human developers and modern IDEs (like VS Code, CLion, and Visual Studio) can understand. 1. Key Files cmake preset
If you use toolchain files, define a hidden preset that sets CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE . Then have your concrete presets inherit from that. It keeps the logic clean. These correspond to the cmake --build command
Here is a quick cheat sheet for the commands you will use most often: eliminating the need for long
