Your dev tool to manage /etc/hosts like a pro!

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.

Features

  • 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.
