Information about bug

Greetings,

In the readme of this repo the instructions, step 4 of "Development Setup / Local" states Open the URL http://erpnext.dev:8000/app in your browser, you should see the app running, but this presumes I am somehow resolving erpnext.dev to localhost/whatever IP the app is running at, instead it points at a domain squatter offering the URL for $199.

I wonder what an appropriate update would be, I found resolving an url to my bench site to be one of the more confusing aspects of the install, until I figured out the site name should be a FQDN I have control of so I can point to a IP (even if that IP is 127.0.0.1), but another option, as I understand it, would be to name the site the IP address I'm going to reach it at? Or modify "allowed_hosts" to include the IP address?

I also messed with /etc/hosts for a while until I realized browsers default to "Secure DNS" these days and don't ask the host OS to resolve domains, so I had to use an actual domain name I own, not just a made up one in my hosts file.

Thanks
