autoware

This is one of the prototype repositories for Autoware Core/Universe that AWF agreed to create in the TSC meeting on 2021/11/17. Tier IV and AWF members are working in tier4/proposal branch for showing the possibility of moving from GitLab to GitHub.

This is the list of the prototype repositories and their roles.

• autowarefoundation/autoware
  • This is a meta-repository that contains .repos files to construct a workspace.
  • Since it's prospected to be forked by users, we don't put a lot of information here to avoid unnecessary differences.
• autowarefoundation/autoware_common
  • This is a repository that contains ROS packages referenced in common by many repositories like libraries and utilities.
  • In order to reduce the CI execution time, splitting that kind of packages from a big repository is a good practice.
• autowarefoundation/autoware.core
  • This is a core repository that contains high-quality and stable ROS packages for Autonomous Driving.
  • Although it's almost empty at this time, it will be implemented based on Autoware.Auto and Autoware.Universe during the next ODD project.
• autowarefoundation/autoware.universe
  • This is a core repository that contains experimental but cutting-edge ROS packages for Autonomous Driving.
• autowarefoundation/autoware_launch
  • This is a launch configuration repository that contains node configurations and their parameters.
• autowarefoundation/autoware-github-actions
  • This is a repository for CI that contains reusable workflows of GitHub Actions.
  • Since Autoware has a lot of repositories in total, making CI scripts DRY is efficient.
• autowarefoundation/autoware-documentation
  • This is a documentation repository for Autoware users and developers.
  • Since Autoware Core/Universe has multiple repositories, preparing a central documentation repository is more user-friendly than writing distributed documentation in each repository.
