## Description

http-prompt is an interactive HTTP client and API testing CLI designed for constructing and debugging network requests to REST and GraphQL endpoints. It functions as a command-line request builder and a shell extension built on top of HTTPie.

The tool provides an interactive shell interface featuring request autocomplete and real-time syntax highlighting for requests and responses. It incorporates stateful session management to maintain request history and session data across multiple commands.

The project covers API request automation and REST API debugging, allowing users to send and verify HTTP requests from the terminal.
