Inso CLI

What is Inso CLI?

Inso CLI is a command line tool that allows you to use Insomnia features in your terminal and CI/CD environments for automation.

Use the following command to install Inso CLI with Homebrew:
```
 brew install inso
```
Check that Inso CLI was properly installed:
```
 inso --version
```
You can also install it by downloading and extracting the zip file for MacOS.

When you run a command, Inso CLI will look for Insomnia data in two places:

In the .insomnia directory in the working directory. This directory is created automatically when Git sync is set up.
In the Insomnia app data directory if Insomnia is installed.

You can use the --workingDir or --src options to specify a different data source. For more information, see the Inso CLI reference.

You can also configure Inso CLI to integrate with external vaults. For more information, see External vaults.
