Introducing Visit: a CLI tool made for humans to make network requests
I'm happy to announce that we have released Visit. This tool can display the response of any URL. Think of it as curl for humans. By default, the output will be colourized, and the response code and time will be displayed after the response.
JSON responses will be colourized by default as well.
And there's integration with Laravel: it can log in any user, report the numbers of queries used to build up the response, and more.
I'd like to tell you all about it in this blog post.
