Every time I wanted to activate a new virtual host on my local macOS machine for development

I had to do the regular steps

1. create directory
2. create apache vhosts entry
3. create /etc/hosts entry

So, I have built myself a tool.

• PHP-cli tool

• Site Directories must end in .local to be picked up

• example /path/site.local will become http://local.site
  

define('SITES_PATH', '/Users/your-user/Sites');
define('VHOSTS_FILE', '/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf');
define('HOSTS_FILE', '/etc/hosts');

Usage (must be super user):

sudo php index.php

PHP-Cli Output Example

Feel free to use as you wish.
