By configuring a local DNS resolver like dnsmasq and creating a resolver file (e.g., /etc/resolver/test), you can route requests for domains like *.test to 127.0.0.1. This approach allows you to access your Docker containers or other services using friendly URLs such as app.test instead of relying on localhost and port numbers. For a more streamlined experience, tools like ServBay can help simplify local development setups. Definitely worth exploring if you're looking to enhance your development workflow.
