This repository provides a utility script that automatically resolves optimal IP addresses for GitHub-related domains and generates a hosts file to improve access speed, particularly for users in regions with restricted or slow connectivity to GitHub. The core logic is implemented in two Python scripts: `fetch_ips.py` performs DNS resolution via DoH (DNS over HTTPS) and asynchronous DNS queries, then measures TCP latency on port 443 to select the fastest IP for each domain. `update_ips.py` is a lighter variant used in the GitHub Actions CI pipeline, which fetches pre-computed IPs from a remote JSON source and updates the README with the latest hosts content. The project is not a traditional application but a scheduled data-generation pipeline that runs every two hours via GitHub Actions, committing the updated hosts file and README back to the repository. The architecture is monolithic, with shared utility functions in `common.py` handling file I/O and template rendering. External dependencies include `requests`, `aiodns`, and `retry`. While the code is straightforward and lacks tests, it demonstrates practical network programming patterns such as TCP-based latency measurement without root privileges and multi-source DNS resolution.
