Description

Manages the /etc/hosts file from the command line in an idempotent way. Idempotent changes can be repeated safely, which helps automation keep host entries consistent.

It is useful for local development, lab systems, deployment scripts, and administrators who manage many host aliases. Review entries before applying them because a wrong hosts file can break name resolution.
