About this project

Bruno is an API client that stores collections directly on the user's local filesystem using a plain text markup language called Bru. This approach allows users to utilize Git or other version control systems for collaboration over API collections. Key capabilities include: - Local-first storage: Data is kept on the device with no cloud-sync functionality. - Cross-platform support: Available for Mac, Windows, and Linux via binary downloads or various package managers (Homebrew, Chocolatey, Scoop, Snap, Flatpak, Apt). - Bruno CLI: A command-line interface for running API collections, suitable for automated testing and CI/CD pipelines. - Docker Integration: Official Docker images are provided for the Bruno CLI to enable execution in environments without Node.js installed.
