DESCRIPTION

       Visualize Git repositories

   positional arguments:
       REPOSITORY
              path to the Git working directory (default: current directory)

   optional arguments:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       --version
              show program's version number and exit

       --pstats FILE
              run cProfile profiler writing pstats output to FILE

       -d, --debug
              activate debug output

   output options:
       Options to control output and format

       -f FMT, --format FMT
              set output format [svg, png, ps, pdf, ...]

       --history-direction {downwards,leftwards,rightwards,upwards}
              enforce a specific direction of history on Graphviz (default: rightwards)

       --simplify
              remove  edges implied by transitivity using Graphviz filter "tred" (default: do not
              remove implied edges)

       -g, --graphviz
              output lines suitable as input for dot/graphviz

       -G, --no-graphviz
              disable dot/graphviz output

       -p, --processed
              output the dot processed, binary data

       -P, --no-processed
              disable binary output

       -v CMD, --viewer CMD
              write image to tempfile and start specified viewer

       -V, --no-viewer
              disable starting viewer

       -o FILE, --outfile FILE
              write image to specified file

       -O, --no-outfile
              disable writing image to file

       -w SECONDS, --wait SECONDS
              wait for SECONDS seconds before deleting the temporary file that  is  opened  using
              the  viewer  command  (default:  2.0 seconds); this helps e.g. with viewer commands
              that tell other running processes to open that file on their behalf, to  then  shut
              themselves down

   filter options:
       Options to control commit/ref selection

       -a, --all
              include all commits

       -b, --branches
              show commits pointed to by branches

       -B, --no-branches
              do not show commits pointed to by branches

       -t, --tags
              show commits pointed to by tags

       -T, --no-tags
              do not show commits pointed to by tags

       -r, --roots
              show root commits

       -R, --no-roots
              do not show root commits

       -m, --merges
              include merge commits

       -M, --no-merges
              do not include merge commits

       -i, --bifurcations
              include  bifurcation  commits; a bifurcation commit is a commit that is a parent to
              more than one other commits, i.e. it marks the point where one or more new branches
              came  to  life;  bifurcation  commits  can also be thought of as the counterpart of
              merge commits

       -I, --no-bifurcations
              do not include bifurcation commits

       -c, --commit-messages
              include commit messages on labels

       -C, --no-commit-messages
