Url Block List Generator

Url Block List Generator is a command-line tool developed with the help of ChatGPT to generate a list of blocked sites by combining multiple text files containing URLs.

Summary

Url Block List Generator takes a list of websites from text files in a specified directory and generates a list of blocked sites in various formats. The output formats include:

  • hosts file format for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • text file format with www and without.

Usage

To use Url Block List Generator, simply follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository or download the source code
  2. Create a directory named "sites" in the same directory as generate-hosts.bat and generate-txt.bat
  3. Create one or more text files in the sites directory, each containing a list of websites you want to block (one per line)
  4. Run generate-hosts.bat to generate a hosts file in the current directory
  5. Run generate-txt.bat to generate a text file in the current directory

The generated files can be used to block access to the specified sites on your computer.
