## プロジェクトの歴史と使われ方

Ain is a terminal HTTP API client that uses template files to assemble requests and then delegates the actual call to curl, wget, or httpie. The README describes it as an alternative to Postman, Paw, or Insomnia for users who prefer files, folders, scripts, and pipes.

### プロジェクトの歴史

The public GitHub repository was created in October 2020. The project is written in Go and centers on a small `.ain` template format with sections such as Host, Query, Headers, Method, Body, Config, Backend, and BackendOptions.

Ain's design goal is explicit in the README: enable scripting of input and further processing of output through terminal pipes. Rather than building its own HTTP stack as the user-facing primitive, it makes curl, wget, or httpie the backend and focuses on request organization.

### 採用の歴史

Official installation instructions cover `go install`, Homebrew, Scoop, AUR binary packages, and manual downloads from GitHub releases. The input package facts also list Homebrew, MacPorts, and Nix packages.

Homebrew listed version 1.6.0 as stable and reported 107 installs over 365 days when checked, suggesting a small but packaged Unix-tool audience.

### 使われ方

Users write one or more `.ain` template files, pass them to `ain`, optionally provide variables, and receive output from the selected backend. Templates can be layered across files and directories, making it useful for API collections that still behave like shell files.

Ain has no separate credentials store in the official README. Secrets are normally represented through template variables, environment variables, `.env`-style workflows, scripts, or headers inside user-controlled `.ain` files.

### パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

Ain is a classic package-manager-friendly CLI: a single Go executable, no service account, no desktop app, and a plain-text file format. Its appeal is to users who want API-client ergonomics without leaving the shell or losing composability with find, fzf, pipes, curl, wget, and httpie.

### タイムライン

- 2020: Public GitHub repository created.
- 2020s: README documents Go, Homebrew, Scoop, AUR, and binary-release installation paths.
- 2026: Homebrew lists 1.6.0 as stable in checked metadata.

### Related projects

- curl, wget, and httpie, used as request backends.
- Postman, Paw, and Insomnia, named by the README as GUI/API-client alternatives.
- Shell tools such as find, fzf, and environment-variable based workflows.
