+
+```bash
+# ESP-IDF v6 activator
+get_idf() {
+  export IDF_PATH="$HOME/Code/esp32/esp-idf-v6"
+  export IDF_PYTHON_ENV_PATH="$HOME/.espressif/python_env/idf6.0_py3.11_env"
+  export IDF_TOOLS_PYTHON="$IDF_PYTHON_ENV_PATH/bin/python"
+  export PATH="$IDF_PYTHON_ENV_PATH/bin:$PATH"
+  export PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1
+  . "$IDF_PATH/export.sh"
+  hash -r
+  echo "ESP-IDF : $(idf.py --version 2>/dev/null)"
+  echo "python  : $(python --version)"
+  echo "idf.py  : $(command -v idf.py)"
+}
