clion change default project template

Question

Hi I program in c and I like using clion. Is there a way to change how the default files it creates in a new project? I would like it to create a main.c and the make file to reflect that.

Answer 1

Read How to create a C project with CLion. It's not possible to create a C project by default, but you could use the info of that post to prepare CMakeLists.txt.

Answer 2

Starting with version 2016.3.2 you can choose language (C or C++) and project type (Executable or Library) when creating a new project.

(Though this was in CodeBlocks for example for as long as I remember)) And I still never figured out whether I can create my own "project". Well IMHO CLion clearly sucks in this way if compared to CodeBlocks where I CAN WRITE MY SCRIPT FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING and customize the IDE this way((()
