bearbag exports markdown files from Bear. I use it to copy my notes into a git repository, giving me backups and version history. Unlike other solutions listed below the sync is strictly one way; bearbag does not modify notes or write to the Bear database.
Using Homebrew:
brew install paulhammond/tap/bearbag
Export your bear notes to path/to/directory:
bearbag path/to/directory
Get help:
bearbag --help
- Bear-Markdown-Export: This has a lot more options and functionality, including two way sync, exporting images & textbundles, and others. The two way sync scares me (which is why I don't use it) but if you're OK with that it enables some interesting use cases, such as the neat Backlink Janitor
- bearc: This requires you to pick which tags are exported.

I'm sharing this code publicly to make it easier for me to install when I get a new computer, and in the hope it is useful to others. I would love to hear about interesting things you do with it, but I do not commit to maintain or support the code in any way. Sorry in advance.
