Vhost Manager: Command Line tool
Recently i had to start a new web project, and like most people, i like the luxury of having to access my app on the browser with a domain name as such http://mysite.local. So i created a virtual host on my machine. I found that it took about 20 minutes of my time. What if we had a tool that could reduce the time to less than a minute, so we can just focus on building our apps and not worry too much about configurations? That's what this project addresses.
Vhost-manager is a command line tool that allows you create virtual hosts in seconds.
Installation
Download the project with composer
composer global require therealsmat/vhost-manager
Requirements
- PHP must be installed on your machine
- This package is only for ubuntu users

This package has two major commands.
- To list all sites on your machine, run
./vhost sites - To create a new site, run
./vhost new:site. You will be prompted to provide

By default, vhost manager uses Port 80. It also used the current directory as the projects domain directory
