## Why?

In some cases, browsers prepend `https://` to the URL when you try to copy it. I constantly copy URLs from the browser to the shell, and it drives me crazy. To avoid that, I built this simple Chrome extension to get only the hostname of the website you are currently browsing. Also, I made it a lot easier to copy the hostname with just a shortcut key, i.e., `Alt + C`.

For example, if you try to copy the URL https://www.google.com from the browser and then try to `ping` using a shell, it doesn't work.

`ping www.google.com` works perfectly and 'Copy Host' makes it easy to do that.

## Installation

Copy Host is available on [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/copy-host/bnimbjbohdeakocjbldadiggnlmlgmie). No additional permissions are required to install.

### Keyboard Shortcut

```Alt + C``` can be used to copy the hostname to your clipboard directly.
