Revision history [back]

I can't believe how dumb the issue was. I was following the tutorial for humble, and the command was as follows: git clone https://github.com/ros2/examples src/examples -b humble all you need to do to make it work for foxy is substitute "foxy" for "humble": git clone https://github.com/ros2/examples src/examples -b foxy

hope these 4 hours will at leas save someone some time.
