Setting up a ROS Workspace

<aside> 📌

Docker containers are faster when your workspace/project files are in WSL filesystem rather than Windows Filesystem (explained here and here).

</aside>

If this is your first ROS workspace, make a folder called FSAI (or whatever you like). All your workspaces will be installed in this folder.

1. Clone the workspace:

   Change the WORKSPACE_NAME to one from https://github.com/Formula-Student-AI:

   git clone <https://github.com/Formula-Student-AI/WORKSPACE_NAME>
   

2. Open the cloned folder in VSCode

   1. Enter the directory

      cd WORKSPACE_NAME
      

   2. Open the current directory in VSCode.

      code .
      

3. If using dev containers: Click the “Reopen in Container” button that appears in VSCode.
