An interactive CLI tool that makes git commit squashing simple and intuitive. Select multiple commits using an interactive interface, provide a new commit message, and squash them into a single commit.

- Interactive commit selection with checkboxes

- Preview commit details (hash, date, message)

- Simple keyboard-based navigation

- Automatic stashing of uncommitted changes

- Dry-run mode to preview changes

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

Hey there!

Thank you for the patience. We have been occupied with adding File Uploads and OAuth2 support in Feb and prepping for the Golden Edition release. This issue is priority. Hoping to get the PR merged soon.

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.

Hey everyone, this is Anoop - creator of Bruno. Happy to see Bruno at the top of HN!

I will try to address some common questions in this comment.

> Well based on historical experience with Postman and Insomnia most probably Bruno will go the same way once they get enough users hooked in. Especially once a VC gets into the fold.

We will never take VC funding. We received around 10 inbound reach outs from VCs till date and have denied funding from all of them. We will remain independent and I have written about it in detail here https://www.usebruno.com/blog/bootstrapping

> I didn't stick with Bruno. I think it was due to not having an equivalent to Postman's pre-request scripts.

Bruno has come a long way, we support pre-request scripts and a lot more

> But can it handle oauth2? I had to write a httpie script recently just to test an oauth2 api.

We have released oauth2 support, some rough edges are being polished

> Good thing it's open source. Money being involved, I don't have long term hopes for it's openness.

I understand this is a hard problem. We are fully bootstrapped and independent. We earn money via selling the Golden Edition. We will build more developer products in the long term, and the goal is to make even the golden edition features also open source in the future. I am committed to this cause.

> History goes in circles. New API client appears, adds features, userbase grows. Forced login is added, users are angry and look for alternative. New API client appears.

I have felt this pain. That's one of the reasons why I denied VC funding and chose to remain independent. Having seen 10 years of this cycle, its enough. We don't want to repeat the same saga.

Some good links where I have discussed about opensource, freedom and monetization

- https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/discussions/269

We are also working on standardizing and improving the Bru Lang to bring more features in Bruno. See: https://www.brulang.org/

Thank you for all the love and kind words, HN!

Hi everyone.

This is Anoop.

I am looking for feedback on the Bru Lang specification. Its an effort to define and standardize the semantics that we already use today to save api requests in Bruno

The need for multimaps, and annotations on key value pairs is the main reason we could not using JSON/YAML/TOML

Our goal with standardization is not adoption across the industry, but primarily to standardize the semantics for our current DSL that is used in Bruno.

In case you don't know Bruno, Its an API GUI Client that allows you to save your collections on your filesystem and collaborate on it via git

We will soon add support for disabling telemetry (visit count)

By Fully Offline, I meant to emphasize that we don't plan to plan to support online syncing of api collections to cloud.

lightweight is not just about electron, it's also about being mimimal without all the feature bloat that most people don't need.

Honestly I don't get the hate for electron.. Bruno got almost 50 PRs in the last week by community. We shipped a release every single day to all macOS, win, Linux.

New contributors are able to get the code up and running and contribute code within a day.

This is made possible by electron.

We just released v0.22.0 where we nudge the users to save their requests before closing the tab.

Also, Bruno now supports collection level headers, auth, scripts and tests

Bruno is 'git-friendly' as well 'git-pr-flow-friendly' as well as 'developer-friendly'

Checkout things that you can do in scripting in Bruno which no other client does - https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/discussions/385

You'll love it.

That's a great feature which we currently don't have.

If you don't mind, it'd be great if you could outline your usecase on our GitHub issue tracker.

On cookies, we are building UI support, meanwhile you can use scripting workaround described here https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/discussions/385#discussion...

I've been at this for 2 years. The project got visibility very recently.

The code is MIT. I look forward to do this for a long long time.

Reminds me of Dark - "The end is the beginning and the beginning is the end." – Adam

Hope Bruno will deliver us from this never-ending cycle.

Is there a duopoly play happening here?
helloanoop

It's like the Netflix series Dark. It's a cycle.

Start API Client

Traction

VC Funding

Bloatware

Deprecate Scratchpad

Delete Scratchpad

Bruno will put an end to this. Honestly, I don't care if I end up making little money from Bruno. This shit has to stop. An API Client need not be VC funded.

It's been a decade now. 10yrs.
