Happenstance CLI: Happenstance from the command line

Happenstance in the terminal

Look up a person by name or profile. A key of the team’s own, kept encrypted on our servers.

Install the CLI, then connect Happenstance

Happenstance takes a key, pasted in the browser and kept encrypted on GBrain's servers. A key or a sign-in never passes through the terminal.

# Install the CLI
$ curl -sSL https://gbrainio.terminalwire.sh | bash

# Set the terminal up and connect it
$ gbrainio terminal connect

# What Happenstance is, and each of its commands once it is connected
$ gbrainio tool help happenstance

The installer is a shell script for macOS and Linux. Read it before you run it.
