Can not find packages downloaded from github

cloning ros packages from github into my catkin workspace do not show up as rosrun etc. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on a virtualbox VM using ROS noetic.

For example, using image_publisher. I'll clone the repo in src. Install the dependancies using rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y I'll run catkin_make Then . devel/setup.bash

I'll then attempt to roscd into the image_publisher directory but it is not found. No errors have shown during any of the above steps and any suggestions would be very welcome.

catkin_make does compile without any issues.

It does not mention installing in the devel-space wrapper. Is that an issue?

after source /home/erik/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash and roscd where do you end up?
