Install: brew install console_bridge

About:
console_bridge is a lightweight C++ library that provides a mechanism to output log messages from ROS packages. It allows developers to write code that logs to the standard console output without requiring the full Robot Operating System runtime. This enables the creation of ROS-independent libraries that can be used in broader C++ applications.

Key Features:

ROS-independent logging mechanism
C++ library for easy integration
Provides log levels (Info, Warn, Error, Debug)
Lightweight and low-overhead

Use Cases:

Developing C++ libraries that can be used both within and outside the ROS ecosystem
Standardizing log output across robotics packages
Reducing dependencies for core algorithmic code

Alternatives:

glog – Google's logging library is more feature-rich but is a larger dependency.
spdlog – A very fast header-only C++ logging library, but does not provide specific ROS compatibility.
