About:
Conan is a decentralized, open-source C/C++ package manager designed for speed and scalability. It enables developers to build, share, and manage binary packages across diverse platforms and configurations, integrating seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines.

Key Features:

Cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, macOS, and embedded systems
Binary management to avoid costly source compilations
Extensible with Python recipes for custom package logic
Native integration with CMake and other build systems

Use Cases:

Managing dependencies in large-scale C++ projects
Accelerating CI/CD pipelines via pre-built binaries
Creating private package repositories for enterprise teams

Alternatives:

vcpkg – Microsoft-backed, tightly integrated with Visual Studio, but less focused on decentralized sharing.
spack – Targets HPC and scientific computing with extensive configuration options, often more complex than Conan.
