wstool_cd

cd to repositories in workspace which is managed by vcstools/wstool.

Installation

install via pypi:

pip install wstool_cd

add following to your .bashrc or .zshrc:

source `which wstool_cd.sh`

Usage

maybe this alias is good:

alias wlcd='wstool_cd'

in workspace which is managed by wstool:

wstool_cd  # cd to workspace's root
wstool_cd repo0  # cd to a repo0

you can set WSTOOL_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE to cd from anywhere:

$ export WSTOOL_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE=$HOME/ros/indigo/src
$ pwd  # not in workspace
/home/wkentaro
$ wstool_cd ros_comm && pwd # if actually not in workspace, cd to default workspace
/home/wkentaro/ros/indigo/src/ros_comm

Advanced

this is sometimes dangerous, but useful:

source `which wstool_cd_wrapper.sh`
wstool cd repo0  # use cd as sub-command of wstool

this works because:

wstool () {
  case "$1" in
    (cd) shift
      wstool_cd $@ ;;
    (*) command wstool $@ ;;
  esac
}
