fzf_ros

FZF tools for ROS!

FZF

FZF is an awesome commandline fuzzy finder. These functions use FZF to help make working with ROS much easier.

Requirements

You need the following to use all the functions:

• ROS
• catkin tools

Usage

After installing FZF, add the following line to your ~/.bashrc to source the file:

source /path/to/fzf_base.sh
source /path/to/fzf_ros.sh

Example installation

# Install FZF
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.git ~/.fzf
~/.fzf/install

# Clone this repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/shivaghose/fzf_ros.git ~/.fzf_ros

# Add the following lines to your .bashrc
source ~/.fzf_ros/fzf_ros.sh

Remember to source your .bashrc

Also, it's super useful to have already built your project at least once.
