Create Applications in ESP-IDF
El framework ESP-IDF permite compilar y ejecutar aplicaciones de 2 maneras con:
The ESP-IDF framework allows compiling and running applications in 2 ways with:
idf.py based Python
Commands for idf.py
- idf.py build : compile application.
- idf.py -p PORT flash / example: idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 flash : compile and program the application.
- idf.py p /dev/ttyUSB0 flash monitor : compile program and debug application.

Cmake based in C y C++
Commands for make
- make all : compile application.
- make flash : compile and program the application.
- make monitor : run IDF Monitor, the display debugging ESP32.
- make flash monitor : compile program and debug application.
- make menuconfig : Enable the application settings menu.
- make clean : clean project.
I recommend using make flash monitor, as it performs all 3 actions.

Conclusion
I recommend using ESP-IDF if you plan to create professional applications or projects in ESP32, this platform has FreeRTOS and debugging tools superior to those available in the Arduino IDE.
