Recipes
Command-first answers for common Restish tasks.
Recipes solve one narrow job. Start with the command, then read the notes when you need variants or failure guidance.
Recipes that use api.rest.sh are intended to be runnable. Recipes that use
private hostnames such as service.internal.test show the command shape for
your own infrastructure.
