+ESP-IDF Profile
+===============
+
+:link_to_translation:`zh_CN:[中文]`
+
+The ESP-IDF extension for VS Code works best with specific companion extensions for full functionality. To simplify the setup process, we've created an ESP-IDF profile that bundles all necessary extensions and settings.
+
+What is an ESP-IDF Profile?
+---------------------------
+
+An ESP-IDF profile is a collection of VS Code extensions, settings, and configurations specifically tailored for ESP-IDF development. Using this profile ensures that you have all the necessary tools for efficient ESP-IDF development without having to manually install and configure each extension.
+
+Included Extensions
+-------------------
+
+The ESP-IDF profile includes:
+
+- **ESP-IDF Extension**: The main extension for ESP-IDF development
+- **C/C++ Extension Pack**: A set of extensions for C++ development that includes:
+  * C/C++: For IntelliSense, debugging, and code browsing
+  * C/C++ Themes: Syntax highlighting and styling for C/C++
+  * CMake Tools: For CMake project support
+
+How to Import the ESP-IDF Profile
+---------------------------------
+
+1. Download the ESP-IDF profile from one of these sources:
+
+   - `GitHub Gist <https://vscode.dev/editor/profile/github/b130f2ea4b7e1c07e08e459722ff0cb5>`_
+   - `GitHub Repository <https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension/blob/master/profiles/esp-idf.code-profile>`_
+   - `Direct Download Link <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension/master/profiles/esp-idf.code-profile>`_
+
+2. In VS Code:
+
+   - Navigate to **File** > **Preferences** > **Profiles** > **Import Profile...**
+   - Select the downloaded ``esp-idf.code-profile`` file
+   - VS Code will import the profile with all necessary extensions and settings
+
+3. Activate the profile:
+
+   - After importing, VS Code will prompt you to activate the profile
+   - Alternatively, go to **File** > **Preferences** > **Profiles** and select the "ESP-IDF" profile
+
+Benefits of Using the ESP-IDF Profile
+-------------------------------------
+
+- **Simplified Setup**: No need to manually install and configure multiple extensions
+- **Consistent Environment**: Ensures all team members have the same clean development environment
+- **Improved Performance**: Only the necessary extensions are loaded, reducing VS Code startup time and resource usage
+
+Updating the Profile
+--------------------
+
+The ESP-IDF profile will be periodically updated with new extensions and improved settings. To update your profile download the latest version from the links above and import it manually
