Vegha VS Code

Quick start

1. Open a folder

Section titled “1. Open a folder”

Vegha works with the folder you have open. A collection is any folder that contains a collection.bru file. That’s the same format the Vegha desktop app and Bruno use, so an existing collection works as-is.

The extension activates when the workspace contains a collection.bru file, or when you open a .bru file.

2. Create or import a collection

Section titled “2. Create or import a collection”

Open the Vegha view in the activity bar. With no collections yet, it offers:

  • Create Collection — runs Vegha: New Collection… and writes a collection.bru file.
  • Import Postman, Insomnia, Thunder Client, OpenAPI… — see Import & export.
  • New Request from cURL — paste a cURL command and get a request.

3. Add a request

Section titled “3. Add a request”

Right-click the collection (or a folder) and choose New Request…. Pick a method, or one of the other kinds: WebSocket, gRPC or GraphQL. The request opens in the visual editor.

4. Pick an environment

Section titled “4. Pick an environment”

Select the environment name in the status bar (or run Vegha: Select Environment…) to choose where {{variables}} resolve from. Create one with New Environment… in the Environments view. See Environments & variables.

5. Send

Section titled “5. Send”

Press Send or Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on macOS). The response opens beside the request, with the body, headers, cookies, test results, console output and a timing breakdown.
