IntelliJ .http/.rest cli support

I’m a big fan of the IntelliJ .http/.rest files but only being able to run them from within the IDE was not very satisfying. So I was looking for a way to run them from the cli as well and found https://github.com/restcli/restcli. This project offers a cli tool named rest-cli that is able to run IntelliJ’s files including env files. So those can also be integrated into CI/CD or other workflows that don’t use IntelliJ.

On the release page https://github.com/restcli/restcli/releases you can find the latest version of the tool as zip or brew package. If I remember correctly I was able to install the brew package with

brew install -f brew_restcli.zip

But just downloading it and putting it into the path also works fine.
