Questions:
Is there a particularly good local DNS service to replace an IP/localhost(with a port) with a custom url? (when I go to local ai it loads 100 101 102 57(imaginary ip of my computer), which I am all loading on my computer; nt another device) I also would like to mention I don’t have the ability to modify the router; All of this needs to be local.
Is there an optimal vscode extension for GitHub Push/Pull requests? I am using the GitHub Pull Requests extension but I don’t know it there’s a better one.
