shell alias to join the currently-scheduled Zoom meeting on my calendar

join_zoom.sh

join_zoom() {
  # Joins the first Zoom meeting URL found in events happening now on
  # your calendar, by searching their descriptions/locations info for
  # "zoom.us" URLs, and opening them using `open`
  #
  # Another option for launching Zoom is directly, via its own URL handler like
  # zoommtg://zoom.us/join?confno=123456789, but not sure how this works
  # with static meeting URLs like zoom.us/my/myusername, and seems it
  # could change in Zoom app updates, whereas the web URLs will always know
  # what to do.
  #
  # Requires:
  # 1. Work GSuite account is configured on macOS for calendar access,
  #    and calendars are set to refresh automatically
  # 2. icalBuddy is installed (can use `brew install ical-buddy`)
  #
  # The `-ic` (include calendar) option limits the search to specified
  # calendars, and can take a comma-separated list if you wish to
  # include multiple, or you can also just remove the option to show all.
  #
  # If desired, there are other timing options for icalBuddy such as:
  # icalBuddy eventsFrom:'2019-04-15 12:00:00 -0400' to:'2019-04-16 4:00:00 -0400'
  # or other natural language options, see http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/examples.html
