Hi There! This is perhaps a few years late, but I wanted to share this with anyone who may find it useful. I documented a little command-line tool I created a while ago for quickly switching between ROS1 and ROS2 in the terminal:
As someone who occasionally has to run/maintain both ROS1 and ROS2 packages, it’s been a huge help.
Here’s how it works:
Open a new terminal, notice that it shows:
ROS 1 Environment Sourced
If you want to switch to ROS2 simply type:
rs 2
And now it says
ROS 2 Environment Sourced
That’s it! no concerns about mixed up environment variables.
