How can I do debugging like in MATLAB (using breakpoints inside a function which is called by the main script to see what are the values of the variables in the workspace)?

I use Atom IDE, but the breakpoints in Atom do not work for Julia.  
I searched the whole internet but there is no guide for this simple task!

Edit: Anyone reading this later, use the following command to debug your function:  
`Juno.@enter Yourfunction(Itsargument)`
