Well, actually I could see a use for this in specific context and use cases, for instance if you happen to have different dev environments you're able to just move from machine to machine while keeping all the bookmarks in the repository.

If you organise them you can even reference them from the codebase, or the documentation to avoid clutter. The format is simple and dumb enough so that a simple bookmark.txt can be converted into a dictionary, array that can be used in the program if some URLs are supposed to be used there.

It's not revolutionary by any means, but I have to confess that it didn't occur to me that's a great per repo documentation reference tool or per folder.

You don’t have bookmark sync in your browser?

Is there a reliable standard to do this across browser vendors and versions and not have to rely on a proprietary cloud implementation on somebody's server?

I think bookmarks.html is pretty standard.

		I was talking about a standard to connect to a (vendor-agnostic) bookmark sync server.

Sure, but what tells you that I want to log into those work machines with my personal account?

we do something similar. IntelliJ (ultimate) has a text-based http client included. Like postman but you can commit .http files to the repo. Then this client has variables which can come from a json file. So basically all URLs that our software uses, are in that file. Eventually this led to the json file being used by scripts too.
