Overview

![CI](https://github.com/fulldecent/corelocationcli/actions/workflows/ci.yml) ![Lint](https://github.com/fulldecent/corelocationcli/actions/workflows/lint.yml) CoreLocationCLI gets the physical location of your device and prints it to standard output. If you move it can also print your updated location. *Kill it with CTRL-C.* Note for Mac users: make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. Otherwise you will see kCLErrorDomain error 0.
