Hosts Manager

Hosts Manager is a utility to quickly and easily manage hosts in your hosts file.

Requirements

• Composer
• php 5.4+

Installation

1. Run git clone [email protected]:xFlatlinex/hosts.git to clone the repo.
2. Run composer install to install dependencies.

At this point you should be able to run it like this php bin/hosts.

Global installation

There are two ways to install it. Using composer global or compile the phar and move it to your corresponding bin dir. Note that both methods need composer, but the first one needs composer to be installed globally.

After you install it you should be able to run it directly:

$ hosts add somehost

With Composer installed globally

First, make sure you have ~/.composer/vendor/bin/ in your path.
Then run the following composer command:

$ composer global require 'flatline/hosts=dev-master'

With Composer phar

This way, you need to compile it to a single phar file and then copy it to /usr/local/bin.

1. Clone the repo and install dependencies.
2. Generate hosts.phar by running php bin/compile
3. Run sudo cp hosts.phar /usr/local/bin/hosts
4. Make it executable sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/hosts

Usage

To get a list of options and commands run hosts without any parameters.

Currently available commands:

• Run hosts add [hostname] [options] to add a host
• Run hosts toggle [hostname] [options] to enable/disable a host
• Run hosts show [options] to show a list of hosts
• Run hosts remove [options] to remove a host from the hosts file

All of the commands have several options and filters, you can check them out by running hosts help [command].

Contributing

This is a work in progress, I'll be adding more commands and modifying existing ones.
This project was built to suit my needs, but if it helps you as well, fantastic! Feel free to contribute with new functionality and/or fixes!
