masteruri

Allows checking and switching of ROS_MASTER_URI's on localhost.

# To check the current value:
> masteruri
http://localhost:11311
# To switch
> . masteruri 2
> masteruri
http://localhost:11312

yujin_list_git_branches

Use in the src directory of a catkin_make/yujin_make installed source workspace populated with git clones. This will list the branches in each and highlight the currently used branch.

git-big-picture

This is a nice tool from https://github.com/esc/git-big-picture. It will let you easily visualise your bitbucket repos (doesn't have a network visualiser like github). To view the current workign directory's git repo in chrome, firefox:

> git-big-picture -v google-chrome
> git-big-picture -v firefox 

You can also make a git alias for it:

> git config --global alias.bp "big-picture -v google-chrome"
> git bp
