About:
Doge is a command-line DNS client designed for querying DNS records directly from the terminal. It provides a simple and efficient way to perform DNS lookups, supporting various record types and offering clear, human-readable output. This tool is valuable for network diagnostics and verifying domain configurations without relying on external web interfaces.

Key Features:

Supports standard DNS record types (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, etc.)
Clean, colorized output for easy parsing
Lightweight and fast execution
Uses system resolver or custom DNS servers

Use Cases:

Quickly checking DNS propagation after making changes
Troubleshooting network connectivity and domain resolution issues
Verifying specific DNS records like SPF or DKIM for email configuration

Alternatives:

dig – dig is the industry-standard, more verbose tool, while doge offers a simpler, more user-friendly interface.
nslookup – nslookup is a legacy tool available on most systems, but doge provides a more modern and scriptable experience.
