https://github.com/oleg-Shipitko/awesome-ros-tools
- ros_best_practices - loose collection of best practices, conventions, and tricks for using the Robot Operating System (ROS). It builds up on the official ROS documentation and other resources and is meant as summary and overview 
- ROS Hacks Repo - the repository is designed to make ROS developer's life easier. After the installation usefull aliases and functions will be added to the terminal. 
- catkin_tools - command line tools for working with catkin [github](https://github.com/catkin/catkin_tools). 
- ROSCpp Code Format - the repo contains an auto formatting script for the [ROS C++ Style Guidelines](http://wiki.ros.org/CppStyleGuide). 
- swri_profiler - is a lightweight profiling framework for C++ ROS nodes. It allows you to selectively measure how much time is spent in various scopes. Profiling data is generated and published to a ROS topic where it can be recorded or monitored in real time. The profiler was designed to be lightweight enough that it can be left in during normal operation so that performance data can be monitored at any time. 
- pal_statistics - provides a way of gathering, aggregating, storing and visualizing statistics from arbitrary sources in a flexible and real-time safe way in ROS. From internal variables values to high level statistics about, but not limited to, robot performance. [pal_statistics Wiki](http://wiki.ros.org/pal_statistics). 
- ros2-migration-tools - contains a set of tools for migrating a ROS1 package to a ROS2 package. The C++ source code migration uses libclang8 and its corresponding python bindings. 
- swri_console - an alternative to rqt_console for viewing the ROS console output. swri_console was written to scale well to large systems with heavy console output. It stays responsive under fire and allows users to quickly find information to track down problems. 
- ros_logrotate - logrotate script allows you to control the size of your log files and make your ROS log folder cleaner. It will compress old folders and remove them after some days. This script is configuarable and you can set the number of days you want to keep files. Plus, it will also clean log files from terminal calls, like rostopic pub or rosservice call. 
- rosparam_handler - A unified parameter handler for nodes with automatic code generation. Save time on defining your parameters. No more redundant code. Easy error checking. Make them dynamic with a single flag. 
- ROS Logs & ELK Stack - demo of collecting ROS Logs (from ROS Containers) with Filebeat which are then sent to Logstash indexed by Elasticsearch and can then be viewed and visualized at Kibana. All logs are stored in the roslogs volume. 
- log_view - an ncurses text UI for viewing rosout logs. Allows to receive, filter, and navigate through all published rosout log messages from within a terminal to support debugging a robot live. [ROS wiki](http://wiki.ros.org/log_view) 
- rosdoc_lite - ROS package wraps documentation tools like doxygen, sphinx, and epydoc, making it convenient to generate ROS package documentation. It also generates online documentation for the ROS wiki. [github](https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rosdoc_lite). 
- rosautodoc - the rosautodoc project provides a python executable that can automatically generate documentation for ROS nodes that are running on the system. 
- roslaunch_to_dot - convert a roslaunch XML file into a dot file containing a graph of the launch tree. 
- ROS Qt Creator Plug-in - plug-in for Qt Creator to work with ROS workspaces, analyse performance and debug code.
- qt_metapackages - contains ROS metapackages that are useful for depending on the right version of Qt depending on which distribution of ROS you are using. 
- rosbag_fancy - fancy terminal UI frontend for the venerable rosbag tool 
- rosbag_snapshot - subscribes to topics and maintains a buffer of recent messages like a dash cam. This is useful in live testing where unexpected events can occur which would be useful to have data on but the opportunity is missed if rosbag record was not running (disk space limits make always running rosbag record impracticable). Instead, users may run snapshot in the background and save data from the recent past to disk as needed. 
- batch_ros - provides a framework for batch execution under ROS, to ensure a node consumes every message in a rosbag, allowing for repeatable results and ensure no message dropping. This not only allows for rigorous testing of a ROS node but also running tests on Continuous Integration (CI) based on rosbag data. 
- rosbag_metadata - tool for collecting and writing metadata to ROS bagfiles or to accompanying yaml files. 
- rosbag_editor - GUI-app to remove one or more topics from a rosbag, change the duration of the rosbag, rename a topic, change the compression type etc. 
- bag-database - web-based application that monitors a directory for ROS bag files, parses their metadata, and provides a friendly web interface for searching for bags and downloading them. Its goal is to make it easy to catalog thousands of bag files, search through them for relevant data such as topic names and message types, view information about them, and download them. 
- rbb_core - tool to index/visualize/manage rosbags on remote storage systems. Additionally it provides a web interface and framework for automated simulations. 
- marv-robotics - MARV Robotics is an extensible data management platform for robot logs. New robot logs are found by a scanner and configured nodes are run to extract, filter and process data from them. The robot logs are visualized in a web-based application that features a listing view with filters and summary, and detail views of individual log files. 
- rosbag_compress - a python command line tool for compression or decompression of multiple ROS bag files. This tool searchs bag files recrusively,compress or compress them at same time. It is executed in parallel process, so the task is done fastly. 
- ros-bag-migration - allows you to change the format of messages in recorded bags in ROS 1. This may be needed when you decide to record new bags with an updated set of message definitions, and you want to change older bags accordingly for compatibility. 
- rosbag-sliding-windows-annotator - providing a way to annotate rosbag files by using the method of sliding windows (use a video image topic as a guide for tagging numerical data) 
- RosbagPandas - create Python pandas data frame from a ros bag file. 
- rs_bag2image - convert tool that works on cross-platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS) **for RealSense**.
- rs_bag2image - convert tool that works on cross-platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS) **for RealSense**.
- bag_tools - set of useful bag processing tools (make_video from topic, change_frame_id, change_camera_info, extract_stereo_images etc.). [bag_tools Wiki](https://wiki.ros.org/bag_tools?distro=kinetic#make_video.py).
