RawRequest http client

Source: Dev.to

What I Built

A full‑featured HTTP client that uses an augmented .http file format, allowing all requests to play nice with Git repositories while offering advanced features like load testing. Think of an HTTP client built into JetBrains products but standalone, supporting groups, request chaining, pre/post scripts, vault, environments, and much more. Work was also put in to cover features that tools like Bruno and Postman offer, so RawRequest can be a one‑stop shop for HTTP testing.

My Experience with GitHub Copilot CLI

As a full‑time developer for nearly 20 years, I didn’t have the time to create the tool line by line myself. Copilot CLI made my tool possible by allowing me to focus on the design, features, and how it needs to work—while handling the rest for me to get it done quickly and have it be production‑ready.

Simply put, without Copilot CLI this app (my daily driver) would have taken forever to create given the little free time I have.
