Getting started with ESP32-C3 on VS Code using ESP-IDF Plugin

[Update March, 2021]: Option for selecting ESP32-C3 has been added in V1.01 of the ESP-IDF Plugin https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension/releases/tag/v1.0.1 and hence this video is now redundant. Please use the latest ESP-IDF plugin version and directly tinker away with the ESP32-C3. Do not use this dirty hack anymore :) Thanks

This video walks through the process of setting up the Visual Studio Code platform for the recently announced ESP32-C3 using the ESP-IDF Plugin for VS Code.

Make sure you've first followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc6ausiKvQM and have a working ESP-IDF dev environment running. Pull the v4.4-dev branch as it supports ESP32-C3


Main content is from 4:30 to 6:50; rest all is blabbering and me rumbling about my deadly slow PC.
