Postman Went Git-native and it Changes Everything for Building APIs

Until now, working with APIs has been way more painful than it needs to be. And if you're building anything right now, especially AI agents, you are dealing with API endpoints all of the time. But the workflow is always a mess, right? You have to create your API endpoints in one place, so in your IDE yourself or with your coding agent, but then you also have to create the collections and the tests in another tool and then figure out how to get those tests to work in CI as well. So you have your specs and collections and code all in different places, not connected and not versioned together. Postman has solved all of these problems for us now. I've been using Postman for almost a decade now. I love it. And they just had a massive update that makes them the AI native API platform. And they're also get native now, which is very powerful. Let me show you what I mean. your collections, specs, mocks, tests, all of your Postman resources can now live directly in your codebase locally as simple YAML files that are very easy to maintain and we can work with these directly in the Postman desktop app as well. So, we have all of our collections and endpoints and everything here running locally. I can also switch to the Postman cloud and we have a two-way sync here. And whenever I make any changes, like I'll make a simple one to one of the tests for an endpoint and then I'll switch to my editor. I can run a git diff and you will see here that we can see all of our changes. And so it's very easy to track the changes to our specs and tests version controlling them just like our codebase. But take a look at this. This is the best part because everything is just files on disk now. Postman's agent mode can coordinate across your entire API life cycle. So you literally just describe what you need in plain English. Like right here, I'm generating a collection for this Flask app. And then it'll scan your codebase, discover your routes, generate the specs, write the tests, set up the mocks, keeping everything in sync. It is a beautiful thing. And all this shows up as reviewable git commits. You can pick the AI model like claude GBT or self-hosted. It even supports MCP servers. You can pull in context from GitHub, Century, Linear, tools you're already using. And this same collection that runs on your machine runs in your CI pipeline. pre-commit hooks, GitHub actions, identical tests, no rewriting for different environments. So, Postman has definitely kicked it up a notch recently. I'd highly recommend checking them out. I'll have a link to Postman and my GitHub repository as an example in the description.
