Git Sync

[cgatian]

Ability to save request information to the Git repo so users can share configuration.

Interesting...

I don't quite get the whole idea since the extension already saves user request information in their local machine.

Want to enlighten me?

[cgatian]

I should try out the plugin :) Basically, you can save your requests in a git repository so they can be shared with a team that pulls your repo.

Sounds interesting, this would give this extension an edge over thunderclient, as thunder client doesn't offer this and I have suffered due to lack of a feature like this in a hackathon.

If anybody's willing to implement this feature, feel free to do so! It does sound like a cool feature to add

[lokize]

must have feature +1

I have been wishing there was a VS Code REST client that could easily sync to git for years. This would be a very useful feature

Just found out about Bruno, going to give it a try. They also have a VSCode extension. https://www.usebruno.com/ https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bruno-api-client.bruno

@unwls @Codedwells I'll try implementing this, if it's still not done

[akash1520]

Proposal

1. Will make user get their developer access token for personal use from Github
2. Will use this token to create a separate repo for saving data of this extension
3. Their will be different directories in this repo for each project in which our extension is being used
4. It will auto save data when user makes a requests using this extension and will also auto save data whenever users exits or closes the extension

In short, user won't ever need to press a save button or anything like that, everything will be done automatically.

Let me know if you think anything should be done differently!

[cgatian]

No, just save the files local to the repo. The plugin needs to be able to read and update these files
