How can i dive into apache webserver source code

How can I debug Apache http webserver source code? I've always done is the
following:

My System details are as follows

Operating system: Window 10

compiler: gcc(MinGw)

bits: 64 bits

Open multiple copies of my editor (Visual Studio/Eclipse/Whatever) and then
debug and do line breaks step through the code. Find out the flow of the
code, stack trace through to see where the key points are and go from there.

I can look at method after method - but it's nice if I can click on
something and then see where in the code it's executed and follow along.
Let's me get a feel for how the developer wanted things to work.

I don't think there are really any shortcuts or improvements if you're
already using an IDE and a debugger.

No need to keep sending this mail to the list either.
