Run this script using python3 inside of a ros package that uses python and C++ nodes to generate CMakeLists.txt and package.xml that are formatted for this purpose.
navigate to ~/your/ros/package/
enter python3 ~/path/to/format_package/format_package.py
You'll still want to update the package name in each file. When you run colcon build you'll see that the packages have the default name add_your_package_name_in_cmakelists_and_packagexml until you edit them, one of them will build though.
The script sets the package name to add_your_package_name_in_cmakelists_and_packagexml, the description to TODO: Package description, the maintainer email to [email protected], and the license to MIT.
