If used without arguments, it restore all set values, if a specific parameter name is provided as an argument, it restore only the value for that parameter.

Files

gato.yaml

We'll use gato.yaml to save the values that were set for the HTTP requests.

host: http://127.0.0.1
path: ""
port: 8000
method: GET
body: ""

default.yaml

We'll use default.json to have the default parameters set in case we need to clear data.

{
  "host":"http://127.0.0.1",
  "path":"",
  "port":8000,
  "method":"GET",
  "body":""
}

Example:

gato set -H localhost.com -D api/todos -P 4000 -M GET -B body.json
gato send
