This makes me think of an alternative that no one seems to be mentioning: http/rest files. They're git-friendly and there are community plugins to operate them from every major IDE.

I believed the standard was created by jetbrains.

What sets Bruno apart?

Nice GUI Clients: Postman, Insomnia, Paw (ease of use)

Nice CLI Clients that use plain text files: Jetbrains Http Client, Hurl, Httpie (privacy)

Bruno: The only GUI client with a Nice UI that works on top of plain text files

It's the best of both worlds.

In what way is Jetbrain's http client a CLI tool ? There's also vscode rest client.

There's no need to shortsell other clients. I think Bruno has sufficient differentiators to standout on its own.

Sorry if it came across as trying to shortsell. I was just trying to point out the key thing that makes Bruno unique in the ecosystem

I'm the maintainer of Hurl and was really graceful to be cited by you!

Oh yes. This one is Jetbrains only but there is also a VScode alternative for this. There is a plugin called httpyac and I believe it also supports the same kind of configuration (???) and variable syntax. It's great not switching to other apps for making an http request.
