AJ ONeal 0861ebc8b8 ref(releases.conf): collapse source/owner/repo into single keys
Source type is now inferred from the primary key:
  github_repo = owner/repo   (was source=github + owner + repo)
  git_url = https://...      (was source=gittag + url)
  gitea_repo = owner/repo    (was source=gitea + owner + repo)
  hashicorp_product = name   (was source=hashicorp + product)

One-off dist sources (nodedist, zigdist, etc.) keep the explicit
source= key since they're already one-liners.

Parser still accepts the old format via the default fallback branch.

Cheat Sheet

If you like the interface of HTTPie but miss the features of curl, curlie is what you are searching for. Curlie is a frontend to curl that adds the ease of use of httpie, without compromising on features and performance. All curl options are exposed with syntax sugar and output formatting inspired from httpie.

Headers (:) are recognized by being in the format Key-Name:Value.

JSON (=) is the default encoding for key=value pairs.

How to alias as curl

Use aliasman:

aliasman curl 'curlie'
alias curl='curlie'

This will affect the interactive shell, but not scripts.

Simple GET

curlie -v example.com

POST simple JSON with headers

curlie -v POST httpbin.org/status/201 "Authorization: Bearer xxxx" "name=John Doe"

POST large JSON

curlie -v POST httpbin.org/status/201 "Authorization: Bearer xxxx" -d '
[
    {
        "name": "John Doe"
    }
]
'

Spoof Host and SNI

The --resolve option is for when you need to test a local service as if it had a remote hostname and TLS SNI (or when you want to break things 😈).

curlie https://foo.example.com:8443 "Host: foo.example.com" \
    --resolve foo.example.com:8443:127.0.0.1
