I'm going to assume you've at least read: http://wiki.ros.org/rosdep

from-paths is going to let you install all the dependencies in the path defined. So if /src/ then it'll recursively look at the package's package.xml files, look up the keys, and install them such that you can then build whatever package in your /src/ directory.

If you do something like rosdep install --from-paths rviz2, what you're asking is: Can you please install all the dependencies in the directory rviz2 relative to root? To my understanding, just ask rosdep install <pkg>, requires that <pkg> is in your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH, which won't be the case if you haven't built it before.

The ignore-src is to make it so you don't install binaries of packages you've built yourself.
