Map at local

You want to map your local DDEV site (`https://autohaus-lange.ddev.site/`) to `https://autohauslange.carmar.digital/`. Since `carmar.digital` is a real domain, are you trying to:

1. **Use a local alias** (so that accessing `https://autohauslange.carmar.digital/` loads your DDEV site)?
2. **Prepare for deployment** (moving the site from DDEV to `https://autohauslange.carmar.digital/`)?

Let me know your goal, and I'll guide you accordingly! ๐Ÿš€

How to do this
Assistant
To map `https://autohauslange.carmar.digital/` to your local DDEV site (`https://autohaus-lange.ddev.site/`), follow these steps:

### **1. Edit Your Hosts File**
Since `carmar.digital` is a real domain, you need to override DNS resolution locally.

#### **On Windows (Run as Administrator)**
1. Open Notepad as Administrator.
2. Open the file:

C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts

3. Add this line at the end:

127.0.0.1 autohauslange.carmar.digital

#### **On macOS/Linux**
1. Open Terminal and run:

sudo nano /etc/hosts

2. Add this line:

127.0.0.1 autohauslange.carmar.digital

3. Save and exit (`CTRL + X`, then `Y`, then `Enter`).

### **2. Tell DDEV to Recognize the New Domain**
1. Open a terminal in your DDEV project folder.
2. Run:

ddev hostname autohauslange.carmar.digital

3. Restart DDEV:

ddev restart

### **3. Test It**
– Open **https://autohauslange.carmar.digital/** in your browser.
– If it doesn't work, try:
– Clearing your **DNS cache**:

ipconfig /flushdns  # Windows
    sudo dscacheutil -flushcache  # macOS

– Restarting your browser or using **Incognito Mode**.

Now, `https://autohauslange.carmar.digital/` should point to your local DDEV site! ๐ŸŽฏ Let me know if you run into any issues. ๐Ÿš€
