Setup local copy

In order to download this repository to a local machine (Desktop, Raspberry Pi) do this:

• Create new directory to use as ROS2 colcon workspace: mkdir -p ~/colcon_ws/src
• Move to directory: cd ~/colcon_ws
• git init
• git remote add origin https://egit.irs.uni-stuttgart.de/RoverLehre/STEVE_Cammast.git
• git fetch --all
• git reset --hard origin/master
• Important:
  Configure .git/config in order commit changes using your personal egit account:

[user]
        name = <replace with your username>
        email = <replace with your irs-email>

For example:

[user]
        name = maxmustermann
        email = max@irs.uni-stuttgart.de

• Important:
  Do not upload to the master branch but instead create your own branch. This prevents pushing experimental code to master. Creating a new branch will copy your local master repository to your new branch:
  • Create a new branch: git branch <branch_name>
  • Move to new branch: git ckeckout <branch_name>
  • Check content: ls -s
  • After creating a new branch or changing its content you must push it to the remote repo:
    • git commit -am "new branch created"
    • git push origin <branch_name>
• Continue working in your local and remote branch but do not push to master!
