⁠About Hostess

⁠What is hostess ?

An idempotent command-line utility for managing your /etc/hosts file.

hostess add local.example.com 127.0.0.1
hostess add staging.example.com 10.0.2.16

Why? Because you edit /etc/hosts for development, testing, and debugging. Because sometimes DNS doesn't work in production. And because editing /etc/hosts by hand is a pain. Put hostess in your Makefile or deploy scripts and call it a day.
