The error is coming from the build system which tries to detect the ESP-IDF version. If the git command is not found then it will fall back to alternative solutions, ie. version detection from files.

And based on your logs, our installer picked up 3.8 instead. Maybe you made 3.8 the default one? See the output of "python3 --...

There should be an "sdkconfig" file in your project's directory after running menuconfig. When you move your project then you need to move it as well with the project.
