history

Project history and usage

Chiko is a terminal user interface for testing and browsing gRPC APIs.

Project history

The official README describes Chiko as a developer-friendly gRPC terminal interface built on grpcurl and tview. It focuses on server reflection, request metadata, payload generation, authorization, bookmarks, and importing or exporting grpcurl commands.

Adoption history

The README documents Homebrew, go install, source builds, and prebuilt release binaries. Homebrew formula metadata lists chiko 0.2.0 with modest install counts, indicating niche but packaged CLI adoption.

How it is used

Users run chiko, enter a gRPC server URL, configure authentication if needed, browse reflected services, generate a request payload, and send calls from the terminal UI.

Why package nerds care

Chiko is package-nerd interesting as part of the modern Go single-binary TUI wave: it wraps grpcurl-style API testing in an interactive terminal app and ships through Homebrew, go install, source builds, and release binaries.

Timeline

  • 2026: Official README documents Homebrew, Go install, source, and prebuilt binary installation.
  • 2026: Homebrew formula page lists stable chiko 0.2.0.

Related projects
