So I am making a raytracer following the very helpful [online book of Gabriel Gambettta][1] but I stumble on the rotation matrix part. 

My linear algebra background is 3Blue1Brown video series "The essence of Linear Algebra".

I simulate a camera placed at the origin that's looking forward ie whose direction is the vector `{0,0,1}`. 
Let's say I am given another camera direction with direction `{a,b,c}`. 
From what I understand if I find the rotation matrix R that takes as an input `{0,0,1}` and spits out a normalized `{a,b,c}` as an output. 
Then I can apply that rotation matrix to all my rays in order to rotate them. 
I can't get my head around on how to find R. Any help/explanation/correction much welcome.

I am in a similar situation than [the person aksing this question][2] except that he seems to know already what needs be done and is just asking 
about if his rationale is good.

Thanks
