How did you obtain ESP-IDF? Did you clone it from here? If yes then what is the output of git describe?

If you updated from v4.4 to the master branch by checking it out then you also have to fetch recent changes in the master branch including fetching the tags. The following might help (in that order).

git fetch
git fetch --tags
git checkout master
git merge origin/master
git submodule update --init --recursive
git describe

[fhrbata]

@dobairoland is right, the culprit seems to be missing tags, meaning git fetch --tags should fix this for you. I tried deleting v5.* tags and I got the same error message. The reason is the the esp-idf version detection is primary based on git describe output and as a fallback we are using version from components/esp_common/include/esp_idf_version.h. I'm wondering if it's really necessary to use git describe and not to rely purely on components/esp_common/include/esp_idf_version.h. IIUC this should be less error prone.

@fhrbata +1 on that, since we only need the major and minor version components in idf_tools.py, we can remove git describe usage and get the version only from esp_idf_version.h.

@dobairoland
I First forked and cloned from my fork and it is updated from master branch
output of git describe is v4.4-dev-19146-ga7d1da94b9

I also tried installing on release/v4.3 and it is working

[dobairoland]

Your fork doesn't have the v5.* tags: https://github.com/naveen-nayan/esp-idf/tags

For reference: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tags

[fhrbata]

$ git fetch https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/ --tags in your fork clone should fetch the missing tags from the esp-idf repo. Hopefully after this the install.sh should work as expected. You can later push them to your fork remote.
