 This issue is regarding the [[https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop|wordpress-develop repo on github]]

 I expected Xdebug to work out of the box after setting
 `LOCAL_PHP_XDEBUG=true` in the ''.env'' file, but that wasn't enough.

 It looks like I had to add a couple of lines to ''tools/local-env/php-
 config.ini'' as well:

 {{{
 xdebug.remote_enable=1
 xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
 }}}

 In my opinion, these lines should be added to php-config.ini by default.

 Additionally, I have a suggestion to also add some information on how to
 use Xdebug for WP core development with VS code, as it turns out you also
 need some custom configuration in the ''.vscode/launch.json'' file. I've
 written an article about this: https://bdwm.be/wordpress-core-development-
 with-xdebug-and-vs-code/

 Feel free to quote the article or include parts of it in the WP developer
 documentation.
