Usage of ESP-IDF tools

Hardware specification

ESP32

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I'm facing an issue using esp_prov tools that's in esp-idf.

The tool requires the IDF_PATH to be set as environment variable. Also it expects a specific folder hierarchy that's similar to ESP-IDF framework.

Describe the solution you'd like

As I imagine, the solution would be to bring up the tool to the current project after tweaking its parameters.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

Here's an output of the command:

Hi Akash, unfortunately I've gone with this path, I was trying to figure out available WiFi provisioning methods backthen.
