Hi, and thanks for the library.

I just tried out xtensor and did so using CMakes FetchContent.

Maybe you would like to add the following way of importing your library into a project to the documentation.
I think that FetchContent is very convenient, because one only has to paste the following into the CMakeLists.txt, the library gets downloaded and built if necessary, and one does not need to do anything else making it almost plug and play.

# ======================== External Libraries =========================

include(FetchContent)

# -------- xtl --------
find_package(xtl QUIET)
if(NOT xtensor_FOUND)
    message(STATUS "xtl not found, attempting to access it via FetchContent")
    FetchContent_Declare(xtl GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/xtensor-stack/xtl.git GIT_TAG master)
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(xtl)
else()
    message(STATUS "Found xtl library.")
endif()

# -------- xtensor --------
find_package(xtensor QUIET)
if(NOT xtensor_FOUND)
    message(STATUS "xtensor not found, attempting to access it via FetchContent")
    FetchContent_Declare(xtensor GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/xtensor-stack/xtensor.git GIT_TAG master)
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(xtensor)
else()
    message(STATUS "Found xtensor library.")
endif()

# ================================== END ===============================

# project building process: 
set(PROJECT_NAME xtensor_tryout)

add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME}
