Native Git brings a Git-native workflow to Postman: your collections, environments, and specs live as files in your repo, versioned right alongside your code, so a single pull request carries both code and API changes — and teammates review your work in Local View before it's published to the read-only Cloud View that consumers use. This hands-on intro stays entirely local: you'll fork and run the small Deskly API, build a collection against it in Local View, then push that collection to GitHub straight from Postman's built-in terminal.
Before you start
Native Git requires the Postman desktop app — the Git-connected experience is not available in the web app. Download Postman and sign in first.
You'll also need:
- Git installed locally.
- Node.js 18+ — the Deskly API you'll run locally is a small Node.js/Express service.
- A GitHub account so you can fork the template repo and push to it.
