which handles aliases and tab completion for `ros2` and `colcon`. Only in comparison to previous iterations we now have two expected modes: - normal `zsh` - `zsh` started by `pixi shell` parent process In a normal `zsh` environment we alias `ros2` and `colcon` commands to the configured `pixi` tasks in the `ROS_WORKSPACE`. In a `pixi shell` we instead overwrite those aliases with direct execution of `ros2` and `colcon` to allow for tab completion. This helps a lot with commands, that are dependent on the environment like: - `ros2 topic echo` (showing available topics on tab) - `colcon build --packages-select` (showing available packages) To allow for this tab completion, we have to manually generate the completions into `$CONDA_PREFIX/share/zsh/site-functions` with `register-python-argcomplete` as they are not part of the conda packages.
