block

A little tool for automatically blocking websites and urls from the command line. It assumes there's a hostfile at /etc/hosts. If you're on macOS or most linux distros, then this should likely be the case for you already.

Warning

Block is more/less meant to be a one-way tool. If you want to remove something from your block list, you'll need to open up your /etc/hosts file and remove the line at the the end of the file yourself. There is no unblock xyz.com.

Usage

$ block distractingsite.com

Install

git clone https://github.com/Flaque/block.git;
cd ./block;
make;
sudo mv ./block /usr/local/bin/block;
