Source colcon workspaces in a new shell.

Project description

Introduction

This is a colcon plugin to chain workspaces in new shells. It allows quickly un-chaining workspaces by exiting the spawned shell.

The shell’s prompt is edited to show the workspace order. The only supported shell is bash.
