              path to the Git working directory (default: current directory)

   options:
       -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

              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
