Git-native API client that stores collections as plain files in your repo.
Bruno stores every request as a plain-text .bru file inside your repository, so API collections are versioned, branched, reviewed and merged exactly like code. It is offline-first with no mandatory account or cloud sync, and ships a CLI for CI execution. It emerged directly as a reaction to Postman's cloud-first direction.
