# crul

This is a fork of the original [crul](https://github.com/porras/crul) by [Sergio Gil](https://github.com/porras):

> Crul is a [curl](http://curl.haxx.se/) replacement, that is, it's a command line
HTTP client. It has fewer features and options, but it aims to be more user
friendly. It's heavily inspired by
[httpie](https://github.com/jakubroztocil/httpie). It's written in the [Crystal](http://crystal-lang.org/) language.
