Revision history [back]

For those who want a straightforward answer the terminal command colcon_cd mentioned in the older comments is now available

If you installed colcon as a debian package, run the following to source the command (or put in your ./.bashrc for convenience)

source /usr/share/colcon_cd/function/colcon_cd.sh

Then run

colcon_cd [package_name]
