Pro and above and uses: Insomnia

Prerequisites

Insomnia

Download and install Insomnia.

Git repository

For this task, you need to have a remote Git repository that contains a .insomnia directory. To test this example, you can use the sample content provided in the Insomnia repository.

You can’t clone a repository that contains multiple files in the .insomnia/Workspace.

Clone the repository

In your Insomnia project, click Create > Git Clone, and select whether you want to clone the repository from GitHub, GitLab, or Git.

If you have not connected Insomnia to your GitHub account yet, click Authenticate with GitHub.
In the page that opens in your browser, click Continue, then click Authorize Kong.
Click Open Insomnia.
Once your GitHub account is connected, you can enter the repository URI.
Click Clone.

Edit the content

The imported workspace opens in Insomnia, you can start working on it. Insomnia opens the repository’s default branch, but you can switch to an existing branch or create a new one. In the bottom of the window, on the left, you can see the name of the branch you are currently on. You can click it to see the Git sync menu.
