This tool gives you more control over the use of your hosts file. You can have multiple profiles and switch them on/off as you need.
It is a tedious task to handle the hosts file by editing manually.
With this tool you can automate some aspects to do it cleaner and quick.
- Manage groups of host names by profile.
- Enable/disable complete profiles.
- Add/remove groups of host names.
- Add profiles directly from a text file that you can add to your git repo or any VCS.
- Sync a profile with Docker or Docker Compose containers.
