How do I load templates from tools folder?

[LorosColiman]

I'm learning to use ESP-IDF on VS, I was using a template called sample_project suddenly I didn't see it anymore, I went to gitHub and I found that it was moved from "examples" to "tools" at commit 6ec1e91.

Does anyone know how to use an example from that location? I know I can just import it, or manually copy it into the "examples" folder, but I'm guessing there should be a way to use stuff from "tools" folder directly I just don't know how.

I appreciate your time and attention.
