Instead of typing the same flags every time you run colcon build or other colcon commands, you define your defaults once in a configuration file and the plugin applies them automatically on each invocation.\n\nThe package depends on colcon-core (the plugin framework) and PyYAML (for parsing the configuration file). It targets developers working with colcon-based build systems who want to reduce repetitive typing and standardize build parameters across a team or project. The plugin integrates transparently into the colcon command pipeline.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use colcon regularly and find yourself repeating the same command-line flags. The plugin is lightweight, actively maintained, and has no security vulnerabilities. Install it as part of your colcon ecosystem if you want to streamline repetitive build commands; skip it if you rarely use colcon or prefer explicit command lines."},"id":"colcon-defaults","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colcon-defaults","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colcon-defaults.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/colcon-defaults/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-12-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"colcon-defaults","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Extension for colcon to read defaults from a config file."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":183027,"position":10076,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.9"}
