## Using this library
See `example/triangle.cpp` for an example that renders a triangle to the screen.
#### Simple
## Setting up vk-bootstrap
Copy the `src/VkBootstrap.h` and `src/VkBootstrap.cpp` into your project
### Simple
#### With git-submodule + CMake
This library has no external dependencies.
Simply copy the `src/VkBootstrap.h` and `src/VkBootstrap.cpp` files into your project and compile them as you normally would
add this project as a git-submodule
### With git-submodule + CMake
Add this project as a git-submodule
```bash
git submodule add https://github.com/charles-lunarg/vk-bootstrap
```
Then add the project with cmake
With CMake, add the project as a subdirectory
```cmake
add_subdirectory(vk-bootstrap)
target_link_libraries(your_application_name vk-bootstrap)
