Note: For bash users, bash-completion will be automatically installed during setup for an optimal tab completion experience.

# Download ros_is_ros2-X.X.X-py3-none-any.whl from releases, then:
pip install ros_is_ros2-0.4.0-py3-none-any.whl
ros-is-ros2 install    # Automatically installs bash-completion if needed
source ~/.bashrc       # or ~/.zshrc

From PyPI (when published)

pip install ros-is-ros2
# If the 'ros-is-ros2' command is not found after installation, use:
python3 -m ros_is_ros2 install
# Otherwise:
ros-is-ros2 install    # Automatically installs bash-completion if needed
source ~/.bashrc       # or ~/.zshrc

# Output: 42 (or "unset" if not configured)

# Set ROS_DOMAIN_ID with tab completion
rosdomainid <TAB>
# Shows: 0 1 2 3 ... 101

# Set to a specific domain
rosdomainid 42
# Output: ROS_DOMAIN_ID set to 42

Launch Argument Autocompletion

Enjoy ROS 1-style tab completion for launch arguments:

# Partial argument completion also works
