Instruction

This module provides a lot of shell commands, that guide you in the configuration of the ROS environment. Run one of the following commands in a terminal:

• ros_config_set_ip_localhost: this command sets ROS_MASTER_URI=http://127.0.0.1:11311/ and ROS_HOSTNAME=127.0.0.1.
• ros_config_set_ip: you can use this command to set the ROS_MASTER_URI and ROS_HOSTNAME variables to the current machine IP in the local network.
• ros_config_set_ros_master_uri: this command asks you for an IP and sets the ROS_MASTER_URI variable to it.
• ros_config_list_source_files: this command shows a list of the bash files sourced in your ROS environment.
• ros_config_add_source_file: this command asks you a bash file path and adds it to the source files list. If the command is run in a ros workspace directory, you can type '.' and the corresponding bash file is automatically sourced.
• ros_config_remove_source_file: this command shows a list of the bash files sourced in your ROS environment and you can specify one to remove.

NB -> after using a command, remember to restart the terminal or source .bashrc
