If you need a quick way to develop code without saving and refreshing constantly, install the Live Server extension in the VS Code Marketplace. It is free and helps create a local development server with live reloading.
This extension works wonders with speeding up your development process and I use it every day. Forget saving and reloading the page after every change...install this extension, set it up, and forget it. Live Server makes your life easier and it's free.
