# esp-idf Tools and Installer/Reinstaller
installs/reinstalls full esp-idf with my own additions on linux.
pulls from master so its the very latest
only currently tested on zsh and bash under debian-like, your mileage may vary depending on what features are used
some features require user to have passwordless sudo rights
Literally the most schizophrenically overengineered thing I have ever made. idk why I did that
## Quick start
1. `mkdir ~/esp`
2. `git clone --recursive https://github.com/PrincessPi3/esp-idf-tools.git ~/esp/esp-idf-tools`
2. `bash ~/esp/esp-idf-tools/esp-idf-tools-cmd.sh install`
3. `source ~/.bashrc`
4. `get-esp-tools`
## Usage
```
Some take optional [branch] paramater
[branch] is the esp-idf branch you desire, defaults to master if not specified.
run-esp-cmd
reinstalls non-interactively with no delays, logouts, or reboots
`run-esp-cmd`
run-esp-cmd test
tests the script. very fast. minimal actions taken. no reinstall is done
`run-esp-cmd test [branch]`
`run-esp-cmd t [branch]`
run-esp-cmd retool

`run-esp-cmd retool`
`run-esp-cmd rt`
