speed-github
A tool to solve the problem of slow loading and downloading speed of GitHub in the country.
Reason for slow speed
CDN, Content Distribute Network, can be literally translated into content distribution network. CDN solves the problem of how to quickly and reliably deliver data from the source site to users.
When users obtain data, they do not need to obtain it directly from the source site. Through CDN's distribution of data, users can obtain data from a better server, thereby achieving fast access and reducing the load pressure on the source site.
For some reasons, Github is restricted in China. The main method isDNS pollution, which is to inject the wrong IP address of Github into the DNS server, thereby affecting user access.
Solution
Resolve the GitHub-related domain name into the correct IP address, and then fill it into the local host file. When users visit GitHub, they will no longer resolve the IP address to the DNS server, but use the correct local IP address, which will not be affected by DNS pollution.
Usage
Tip: run with admin permission, because the /etc/hosts file need to be modified.
`` bash
Download this repo to local
git clone https://github.com/jvxiao/speed-github.git
cd speed-github
install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txtrun
python ./src/main.pyipconfig /flushdnsAfter doing this, copy the contentsrc/hoststo update you hosts inetc, or you can just relace it. And then run the following command to update local DNS.
A more quick way， run the folloing command, which will automaticlly do the all thing for you.or
python src/main.py --writehosts## github-hostsipconfig /flushdnsAfter executing the above command, your hosts file will add the following content,and then automatically refresh the local DNS.
Or you can choose to copy the following content into your hosts file, and manually refresh local DNS with
