    It would be fun to create a CURL converter. Just simple aliases or conversion tool. I just looked it up, looks like there may be something like it here: https://github.com/christianhelle/curlgenerator

    This has been solved since 1999. Read the manual. The deeper I get into Linux, the more I feel exactly this about most software in general. We just love reinventing the wheel, don’t we?

    As much as I think that's correct a lot of the time, something like Bruno has value too. Implementing complicated auth for an annoying service once and reusing it across several pre-written requests, useful features like a GUI and history to see prior responses from an endpoint, being able to share the "collection" in the repo as examples/developer tools that's maintained alongside the code, writing docs with each request to explain its usage, this stuff _does_ add value that isn't trivial to do with curl.
