Select C++ (GDB/LLDB). There may be another platform specific option here. If selected, adjust the configuration example provided accordingly.
Within the launch.json file find the "configurations" array and add a new section to it:

{
  "name": "Launch",
  "type": "cppdbg",
  "request": "launch",
  "program": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/godot.x11.tools.64",
                                    // Change to your current platform
  "args": [ "-e" ],
  "stopAtEntry": false,
  "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
  "environment": [],
  "externalConsole": true,
  "MIMode": "gdb",
  "setupCommands": [
    {
      "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
      "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
      "ignoreFailures": true
    }
  ],
  "preLaunchTask": "build"
}

The name under program depends on your build configuration, e.g. godot.x11.tools.64 for 64-bit X11 platform with tools enabled.
