Using this Repo

You will be using a copy of this repo for all development in the class. This repo provides starter code for the ROS subscriptions, publishers and control loops you will be using. Note that for the purposes of this course, this repository depends upon the ut_automata repository found here: https://github.com/ut-amrl/ut_automata.

Please follow the instructions in the UT AUTOmata reference manual before continuing.

4. cd <cloned_repo>
5. git push --mirror <your new repository url>

Optional: Building/Running with Docker

1. Make sure you have Docker installed and set up.
2. Make sure you are in the root directory of the repository.
3. Run make docker_all to just compile. You can run make docker_shell to get a shell within the Docker container. Inside this shell, you can build with make -j, as well as run other utilities such as roscore and the ut_automata websocket and simulator.
