In VS Code, there are two core debugging modes, Launch and Attach.

1. Starting in the browser
   • When you open DevTools in a browser, you are attaching DevTools to the open browser tab.
2. Starting in the code editor
   • The editor launches your process, and it automatically attaches its debugger to the newly launched process.
