Installation

1. clone this repository into ~/.suturo, for exaple using git clone https://github.com/McModknower/suturo-dotfiles.git ~/.suturo
   If your installation dir is different, you have to change the first line of the suturorc file to point to your installation dir.
2. add the line source ~/.suturo/suturorc to the end of your .bashrc
3. Optional: copy ~/.suturo/settings-default to ~/.suturo/settings and change the network_if to the interface used for working on the real robot.

Optional: setup user-specific git configuration

• use mkdir ~/.suturo/settings.d to create the settings directory
• create a file called gitconfig-$NAME.sh, where $NAME is the name of the person
• export all variables you want to override in there, for example like this:

  # make sure to export the variables, otherwise git will NOT see them
  export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="McModknower test"
  export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="[email protected]"
  export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
  export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
  export GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa_mcmodknower"

Features

Modes

sim_mode and hsrb_mode commands to quickly setup ROS_MASTER_URI and ROS_IP. These update the ROS_IP in case you switched network interfaces (wlan to cable, etc). For that purpose, the network_if in the settings file is used. The mode will also be written into settings.d/rosmode and new shell sessions after setting the rosmode will use the new mode.

Git

git_ssh_repo

The command git_ssh_repo changes the push url of a repository to an ssh url, so you can push using an ssh key instead of username and password.

git_https_repo

Similar to git_ssh_repo, sets the normal url to https and the push url to the old url. Useful for fixing repos that didn't use git_ssh_repo, especially sicne ssh repos can't be cloned automatically by wstool unless there is an ssh key without a password.

User-Specific Git configuration

Since there are multiple people using the same user account on the suturo computers, there is a way to have multiple ssh-key and git author configurations. This is setup as described above in the Installation section. If your gitconfig file is named gitconfig-mcmodknower.sh you can use git mcmodknower commit ... and git mcmodknower push to use your git configuration. this also works for all other git commands.
