This repository is dedicated to learning C++ through the excellent tutorials at LearnCpp.com. It includes notes, code examples, and a custom script to compile and run C++ files easily from anywhere in your terminal.
- Understand modern C++ (C++17 and newer)
- Practice examples from LearnCpp.com
- Gain confidence using C++ compilers and debugging tools
- Develop good coding and build habits early
A handy Bash script is included to help compile and run .cpp files in one command.
scripts/run_cpp.sh- Make the script executable:
chmod +x scripts/run_cpp.sh- Move it to a global directory so it can be used anywhere:
sudo mv scripts/run_cpp.sh /usr/local/bin/run_cpp- Now you can run C++ files from any location like this:
run_cpp main.cpp- Uses
g++with-std=c++17 - Compiles file to a
.outexecutable - Runs the program automatically after successful compilation
- Displays useful errors if the file is missing or fails to compile
run_cpp basics/hello.cppSample output:
Compiling basics/hello.cpp -> basics/hello.out
Running basics/hello.out...

Hello, world!

Learning C++ can be overwhelming — this setup streamlines your environment so you can focus on coding and understanding rather than managing build tools.
