Tools and utilities for development, typically with ROS build environments.

Yujin Tools

Utilies for yujin development. These are system tools (i.e. not deployed within a ros environment).

Tools

• Workspace Tools
• yujin_tools_settings : configure the rosdistro and rosinstall database the yujin tools should work with.
• yujin_init_workspace : easy rosinstaller, drop in a listed rosinstall from the yujin tools rosinstall database.
• yujin_init_build : configure a build dir and populate with environment startup scripts (esp. useful for parallel builds)
• yujin_make : catkin_make on drugs
• Rocon
• avahi-browse-concerts
• avahi-browse-multimaster
• masteruri : quickly switch between ROS_MASTER_URI's (e.g. . masteruri 2 -> 11312)
• General Purpose
• yujin_list_git_branches : list branches of all rosinstalls in a ros source workspace.

Usage

Installation

> sudo apt-get install python-pip
> sudo pip install --upgrade yujin_tools

Usage

yujin_tools_settings, yujin_init_workspace, yujin_init_buld, yujin_make

• Yujin Init Tools

masteruri

Allows checking and switching of ROS_MASTER_URI's on localhost.

# To check the current value:
> masteruri
http://localhost:11311
# To switch
> . masteruri 2
> masteruri
http://localhost:11312

yujin_list_git_branches

Use in the src directory of a catkin_make/yujin_make installed source workspace populated with git clones. This will list the branches in each and highlight the currently used branch.

git-big-picture

This is a nice tool from https://github.com/esc/git-big-picture. It will let you easily visualise your bitbucket repos (doesn't have a network visualiser like github). To view the current workign directory's git repo in chrome, firefox:

> git-big-picture -v google-chrome
> git-big-picture -v firefox 

You can also make a git alias for it:

> git config --global alias.bp "big-picture -v google-chrome"
> git bp
