Dig Replacment

Stats

Review

I do my fair share of poking around network infrastructure from time to time. While I do appreciate bind-utils and their wide reach, sometimes, I just want something a little… nicer. I love to swap out basic CLI utils with Golang and Rust versions, nice and easy to install. So here we are, replacing dig with doggo… and this util is a good boy for sure <3

The author took the time to improve on the original Dog client, and it shows. The feature list really shines on the thoughtfulness of it!

Feature List (from the `README.md`)

Human-readable output with color-coded and tabular format
JSON output support for easy scripting and parsing
Multiple transport protocols: DoH, DoT, DoQ, TCP, UDP, DNSCrypt
Support for ndots and search configurations
Multiple resolver support with customizable query strategies
IPv4 and IPv6 support
Web interface available
Shell completions for zsh and fish
Reverse DNS lookups
Flexible query options including various DNS flags
Debug mode for troubleshooting
Response time measurement
Cross-platform support

TL;DR It’s a alias and soo nice 😉
