+### xdebug command inside the container

+While you can enable xdebug by following the [DDEV guide][ddev-xdebug], I am
+normally inside the container.
+
+I found that you can use DDEV's own `enable_xdebug` and `disable_xdebug` inside
+the container but I wanted a shortcut to that so this add-on
+[ships a small script](homeadditions/.local/bin/xdebug) that simply toggles
+xdebug state by running `xdebug` inside the container.

-- Adds the ddev project name
-- shows that is a ddev project
+- Adds the DDEV project name
+- shows that is a DDEV project
 - includes the current $PWD shortenning it.
 - shows the currently running command
