ROS 2 C++ package.

It is assumed that the workspace is ~/ros2_ws/.

cd ~/ros2_ws/src

git clone https://github.com/sze-info/ros2_cpp_template

cd ~/ros2_ws

colcon build --packages-select ros2_cpp_template --symlink-install

source ~/ros2_ws/install/setup.bash

ros2 launch ros2_cpp_template launch_example1.launch.py

ROS 2 pacage template, to get started, use template by clicking on the Green button labeled Use this template / Create new repository.

Let's assume

• your Github username is mycoolusername
• your ROS 2 repo shold be cool_ros2_package

Replace everything in the cloned repo:

• ros2_cpp_template >> cool_ros2_package (the folder was already renamed after Use this template)
• sze-info >> mycoolusername
• find all todo strings and fill the blanks

The easiest way is VS code:

Now colcon build your ROS 2 package and you can start wokring.
