**Documentation:** https://docs.usebruno.com/bru-cli/overview

Bruno CLI (bru) is one of 5 APIs that [Bruno](https://apis.io/providers/bruno-api/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include CLI, API Testing, CI/CD, Automation, and Developer Tools. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The @usebruno/cli command-line runner (invoked as bru, installed via npm install -g @usebruno/cli) executes individual requests or entire collections headlessly for CI/CD, with JSON, JUnit, and HTML test reporters, environment selection, and assertions. Since v3.0.0 it defaults to Safe Mode for security; Developer Mode features (filesystem access, external npm packages) require the --sandbox=developer flag. A local CLI tool, not a hosted API.
