When I've dabbled in C++ recently it has felt like using CMake fetching github repos has been the least painful thing I've tried (dabbled in vcpkg and conan a bit), since most libraries are cmake projects.

I am no expert so take it with a grain of salt, but that was how it felt for me.

Do you have CMake actually run `git clone`, or do you clone separately and point CMake at the `FIND_X` files?

I was using fetch content or the like, there is a package that comes after a certain version of cmake where you can tell it this is a git repo and it handles all that for you. It has been a few months since I did this so I don't remember the details fully
