I see the claim of saving everything on the filesystem and collaboration via git.

- Is there a way to handle secrets outside of this flow? - Can we set/reference variables between collections? collection A sets a variable, collection B uses it.

also, a small bit of feedback from someone that briefly played with Bruno this morning.

- moving requests in a collection via drag/drop isn't obvious and it's actually a pain if you're trying to replace the top item. - if I duplicate a request I want the new request highlighted and I would personally prefer if the same tab was opened

yes, ALL IN on git :) based collaboration

Check: https://docs.usebruno.com/secrets-management/overview.html Two ways of handling secrets.

In bruno collection is the first class citizen, environments reside inside a collection. There is plan to support global environments for the use case you mentioned.

yes, this ux needs to be improved and there is a bug in drag and drop which should be fixed.

Excellent, thank you for the quick response.

I'm guessing your recommendation for dealing with separate environments (dev/qa/etc) would then be a single collection with folders underneath and environments defined w/i that collection.

In that sense collections for bruno seem to be more akin to "projects" and are not really equivalent to postman collections in that sense.

That's workable, it good to know the environments are collection specific rather than global.
