Speed up GitHub
with Hosts sync
A GitHub Hosts synchronization tool for research and learning. Use the desktop client, local server, CLI, or pull hosts files directly into your system.
$get — one-click fetch
Use the public hosts sources or copy commands to write them locally. Great for manual maintenance and automation.
hosts.json
JSON format — ideal for programmatic use and client sources
https://hosts.gitcdn.top/hosts.json
Unix / Linux one-liner
sed -i "/# fetch-github-hosts begin/Q" /etc/hosts && curl -sL https://hosts.gitcdn.top/hosts.txt >> /etc/hostsTip: Schedule the command with crontab to keep hosts up to date automatically.
$features
