Is it possible to get command line access to the Hubitat Hub?
Nope..
That's unfortunate.
What do you want to do with it out of curiosity?
Well the first thing was re-code the dashboard. I'm not really a fan of it. It's pretty basic and dated. I know there are options like SharpTools but I'm not a fan of paying for things I could just code myself.
You'll be happy to know dashboard is getting a major upgrade shortly. You can build your own dashboard if you want using Maker API or code it in Groovy in Apps Editor. That is where the current dashboard is written in.

I assume you're aware that Hubitat apps, which you can code yourself, are capable of displaying arbitrary HTML (or whatever you want to do with them, really)? There's nothing the built-in Dashboard app does that you couldn't also do yourself (if you were on ST a while back, think of SmartTiles). If you don't like that idea, you also might be able to get the Maker API, webhooks, or similar to do what you want. You can also use MQTT (not natively supported but there's a custom app) to integrate with Home Assistant (Lovelace or HADash) or Open HAB (...no idea what the equivalent is called there) or similar. Lots of options. 
(And of course after I said all that: I went the lazy route and stuck with sharptools.io for things I didn't like with Hubitat Dashboard. Might try Lovelace.)
That being said, staff has recently indicated the Dashboard app is in for an overhaul, which Patrick beat me to saying above. I can't wait!

Thank you both of you. I'm still new and barely have my hubitat working but a decent coder so that was my goto option. I'll look at the options you suggested as well as wait and see what the refresh brings...
And thinking about it, there is the mobile app that is supposed to be coming at some point and now the dashboard refresh, I wonder if they decided to knock two birds out with one stone and did some sort of react/angular/ionic UI?
