I have an overlay workspace for ROS2 : ros_2_overlay_ws which have the build install and the src folders. Now i want to create a new package.
In ROS, it could be created by sourcing the bash file and then catkin_create_package [package_name] [dependencies].
How can i use ament to create a new package ? Is there also some command like ament_create_package ?
There is a pkg verb inside the ros2 command line tools.
To create a new package, you can run the following command:
ros2 pkg create --dependencies [deps]
It is not as feature complete as catkin_create_pkg and currently only supports cmake and ament_cmake packages. Pure Python packages are not yet supported.
EDIT:
The create verb is not available in Ardent and has to be built from source (at the time of writing). IMO, the best way of doing so is to create an overlay workspace
and then checkout the latest master release of ros2cli here.
@Karsten means that the version of the ros2 pkg command in the most recent release does not have the create verb yet, so you need to download the source into your workspace and build then source your workspace to use it.
