You can name the binary git-qlite if you want to invoke it as a subcommand on git.

    git qlite "SELECT * FROM commits"

How can you pass up naming it “git-sql”?!

    git sql “SELECT * ...”

haha you're totally right! if it's just a matter of renaming the binary and dropping it in a particular directory to get git to know about it, I can leave this part up to the user. I'll definitely have to make a note in the README.

gitqlite is a little clunky for a name, but I wanted to make sure to convey that it's sqlite doing a lot of the heavy lifting here!

Not so humble opinion, I'd encourage you to aim for ergonomics and let people read about the project if they want to know about the backend.

that’s great to know, will take a look and add a note to the README
