Hey! I was tired of firing up another heavy app for API testing. I wanted a tool with the speed of HTTP clients like `curl`, but with the power of API testing apps like Postman. This is how req was born. req is an extremely fast, minimal, yet powerful API testing tool, which lives right next to your code. It is command-line based, and so quickly usable without another app. Even better, your files are simply HTTP files that can also be opened in other apps! Do try req out! I would love any feedback/feature requests on req, just add them on the GitHub repo! Thanks, Sid!

@siddharth_shyniben Found it difficult to understand a bit when it comes to the documentation. I had to read the screenshot with information on the sample req file before I could understand how to use the cli. The initial screenshot runs a file, passed-variables and it seemed strange as I couldn't tell where that passed-variables came from till I read the second screenshot. So maybe if before the first screenshot, we could have a bit more information on the fact that an http file passed-variables has to be created with the request data before running it to get that response, it could better get one started.

@sir_lancelot_armah Thanks for the feedback! I had thought it was kinda obvious that a request had to be created before it could be ran
