HostCat

HostCat allow users to create multiple profiles using which they can quickly switch between local domain names for ip 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts

For Example these two profiles

foo -> foo.com api.foo.com
bar -> bar.com api.bar.com

allow users to create local DNS for foo.com api.foo.com and bar.com api.bar.com and assign a profile to them, which can be switched using hostcat effortlessly

Install

$ cargo install hostcat

Creating a profile

$ sudo hostcat set -p foo -v "foo.com api.foo.com"

Here -p donates a profile name and -v donates its' Dns
