  -n NUM        number of entries to include in the chart, default $num_entries
  -f FILE       history file use, default determined by the calling shell
  -c CHAR       character to use for chart bars, default '='
  -l NUM        width of chart, default width of terminal

Miscellaneous:
  -h            display this help message and exit
  -d            print useful debug info

Help

if you don't see your graph updating after running a few commands, this is because the working history is stored in memory, and not the history file. running history -a should update the history file and you'll be good to go!
