Easiest way to find source code for released (and indexed) packages would be index.ros.org.

For turtlesim specifically: index.ros.org/p/turtlesim.

Then find the Checkout URI in the Repository Summary box.

Then find ros index

In the screenshot:

  1. the main link to the source repository. In this case: https://github.com/ros/ros_tutorials.git
  2. the name of the branch. In this case: galactic-devel
  3. tabs which allow you to switch to a different ROS release. Note how GALACTIC is selected here. To switch to the Foxy version of the package/page, click the Checkout URIFOXY tab. The VCS Version field in the Repository Summary box:

    will automatically update to show the correct branch name (for Foxy it would switch to foxy-devel)
  4. a convenience button which will take you to the source repository and open the correct branch for the package version selected using the tabs (3). In this case: https://github.com/ros/ros_tutorials/tree/galactic-devel/turtlesim
  5. ros index checkout uri

Edit: for future readers: please always prefer to install the binary version of ROS packages, if at all possible.

Building ROS packages from sources is not the recommended way to install them and should not be your default.
