bruq

bruq

Convert and execute Bruno .bru files as curl commands, or create new .bru files.

Execute Requests

CRITICAL: File paths must be on a single line with no line breaks inside quotes.

BRU_FILE='<path-to-file.bru>'
eval "$(bruq "$BRU_FILE" -e <environment>)"

Options

• -e, --env <NAME> - Load variables from environments/<NAME>.bru at collection root
• -v, --verbose - Curl verbose output
• -s, --silent - Curl silent mode

Collection Structure

Bruno collections have this structure - environments are always at the collection root (same level as bruno.json):

collection-root/
├── bruno.json           # Collection marker - find this first!
├── environments/        # Environments are HERE, not in subfolders
│   ├── LOCAL.bru
│   ├── Dev.bru
│   └── Prod.bru
└── requests/            # Requests can be nested anywhere
    └── subfolder/
        └── request.bru

Finding Files Efficiently

1. Find collection root: Look for bruno.json by traversing up from the .bru file
2. Environments: Always at <collection-root>/environments/<NAME>.bru
3. List available environments: ls <collection-root>/environments/
