Running a query from the CLI and outputting it as a .ndjson file in Sanity.io

Hi, is it possible from the cli to run a query, and output it as a
.ndjson
file? Not just json.
pnpm -F studio exec sanity documents query --dataset archive '*[_type == "event"]{..., "tags": [], "fromArchive": true }[0..1]' > ./apps/studio/exports/archived-events.ndjson <<<<<
My use case is that I want to query some documents from an "archive" dataset, and then import then into another dataset.
But the dataset import only takes ndjson, while the query only outputs json.

I would like to do it all with cli, so I don't have to run scripts.

Found this great one-liner:
cat test.json | jq -c '.[]' > testNDJSON.json

Yep, that’s what I use as well.
