What is the best method for updating esp-idf to get latest commits VS Code extension

[rwel59]

I've been using the vs code extension with linux (ubuntu 20.04) for a couple of months and am pretty happy with it.

I need to update esp-idf v4.2 to get commits that with hopefully solve a couple of issues I am troubleshooting. What is the best method to do this?

You can just go to the ESP-IDF path and do a `git pull --recurse-submodules`. When ESP-IDF is updated, use the `ESP-IDF: Configure ESP-IDF extension` using existing ESP-IDF path to download and configure the ESP-IDF tools and create a virtual environment for the new version.

I a lot of searching and reading about peoples experience I found the best documentation on Microsofts marketplace website:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/it ... ed%20paths

DON'T click "Install". Just follow the steps in "How to use"

I followed this to update from ver 5.2.2 to 5.3 and had no problems
