hostess: Add a domain pointing to your machine to your hosts file.
$ hostess add ${local-example-com} ${127-0-0-1}
try on your machine
The command "hostess add ${local-example-com} ${127-0-0-1}" is used to add a mapping between a domain name and an IP address in the Hostess tool.
${local-example-com}
is a placeholder for the domain name you want to add, in this case, it is set to "local-example-com". Replace this with the actual domain name you want to use.${127-0-0-1}
is a placeholder for the IP address that corresponds to the domain name. In this case, it is set to "127-0-0-1", which is the loopback IP address commonly used to refer to the local machine. Replace this with the actual IP address you want to use.
So, when you run this command, Hostess will add a mapping between the specified domain name and IP address to its configuration file. This allows your computer to resolve the domain name to the specified IP address for local testing or development purposes.
