Bruno is a fast, friendly open-source API client designed to change the status quo represented by tools like Postman and Insomnia.

• Storage method:Bruno stores your collections directly in folders on your file system, using the plain-text markup language Bru to save API request-related information.

• Version control:You can use Git or any version control tool of your choice to collaborate on your API collections.
