Is there a way to quickly scaffold a basic C++ CMake project using CMake itself? For examples in an empty directory calling cmake new then CMake asks a few questions e.g. project name, lisence and generator. Then CMake generates all the required files and directories, e.g. CMakeLists.txt file, src directory and probably initialize it as Git repository.
How do I scaffold a new C++ project using CMake?

I don't know of such features and I don't see a point to add scaffolding into CMake itself. There are free and popular tools specifically for scaffolding purpose, so I suggest you to go to yeoman or slush generators search pages and search for cmake.
You may write a CMake function to create an empty project with a specific layout. file command helps you to create files and directories.
