ROS 2

colcon does out of source builds. By default it will create the following directories as peers of the src directory:

• The build directory will be where intermediate files are stored. For each package a subfolder will be created in which e.g. CMake is being invoked.

• The install directory is where each package will be installed to. By default each package will be installed into a separate subdirectory.

• The log directory contains various logging information about each colcon invocation.
