Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) - php 5.4+ Installation ------------ [](#installation) 1. Run `git clone git@github.com: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 [](#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 [](#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 [](#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 ----- [](#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 ------------ [](#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!
