reqsh keeps API testing inside one terminal session
reqsh is a small tool for working with HTTP APIs with less switching between apps and repeated commands. It runs in the terminal and lets someone stay in one interactive session while testing requests. It can save base URLs, keep headers ready, use variables for values such as tokens, and organize requests.
This makes it easier to change and retry API calls without rewriting the same command each time. The tool is written in Rust and is still early. Some people have already started sending PRs on GitHub.
The aim is not to replace every , but to fit better into a terminal-based workflow.
