Package Development Model: Allows you to create self-contained applications or libraries that are deployed to your org as a single package.Org Development Model: Allows you work with orgs that don’t have source tracking, such as sandbox, Developer Edition (DE) org, Trailhead Playground, or even a production org to retrieve and deploy code directly.Salesforce Extensions for VS Code supports Org Development and Package Development models to authorize, create and switch orgs in your project:
