The locate verb can be used to locate important locations in the workspace such as the active source, build, devel, and install spaces, and package directories in the workspace.

Full Command-Line Interface

usage: catkin locate [-h] [--workspace WORKSPACE] [--profile PROFILE] [-e] [-r]
                   [-s | -b | -d | -i]
                   [PACKAGE]

Get the paths to various locations in a workspace.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --workspace WORKSPACE, -w WORKSPACE
                        The path to the catkin_tools workspace or a directory
                        contained within it (default: ".")
  --profile PROFILE     The name of a config profile to use (default: active
                        profile)

Behavior:
  -e, --existing-only   Only print paths to existing directories.
  -r, --relative        Print relative paths instead of the absolute paths.

Sub-Space Options:
  Get the absolute path to one of the following locations in the given
  workspace with the given profile.

  -s, --src             Get the path to the source space.
  -b, --build           Get the path to the build space.
  -d, --devel           Get the path to the devel space.
  -i, --install         Get the path to the install space.

Package Directories:
  Get the absolute path to package directories in the given workspace and
  sub-space. By default this will output paths in the workspace's source
  space. If the -b (--build) flag is given, it will output the path to the
  package's build directory. If the -d or -i (--devel or --install) flags
  are given, it will output the path to the package's share directory in
  that space.

  PACKAGE               The name of a package to locate.
