Manage code dependencies at work with new vcpkg features
summary
vcpkg manages C/C++ dependencies by building from source and ships a curated catalog of over 1600 libraries for Windows, macOS and Linux. Key additions are binary caching (cache built artifacts to GitHub Packages, Azure Blob, any NuGet feed), manifests (vcpcakge.json checked into a repo that restores per-project installs and integrates with MSBuild and CMake), versioning (baseline / minimum / overrides to lock versions) and registries (private git or filesystem ports). vcpkg.io and plans to ship binaries in VS2022 complete the workflow.
