Minor documentation nit - vcstool requires ROS repos to install from a simple apt install call. Assuming those repos are specified then no big deal. However, it can be confusing since the linked VCStool page (the ROS one) implicitly assumes you already have the ros repos listed.

suggestion:
https://github.com/dirk-thomas/vcstool#how-to-install-vcstool is a better link.

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list' sudo apt install curl # if you haven't already installed curl curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/ros.asc | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python3-vcstool
