Simple read-only comand-line interface to your Things 3 database. Since Things uses a SQLite database (which should come pre-installed on your Mac) we can simply query it straight from the command line. We only do read operations since we don't want to mess up your data.
To install, put this file somewhere in your $PATH and make it executable. E.g. by running:
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexanderWillner/things.sh/master/things.sh \
-o /usr/local/bin/things.sh && \
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/things.sh
Note that you could override the location of the database used by setting the THINGSDB environment variable. For usage information, run the script with no arguments or with "help":
$ things.sh --limitBy 5 help
