The options’ explanations:

• repository: The directory of the Git repository to load stats from. Defaults to ’.’ (the current directory).
• branch: The branch to read stats from (this doesn’t apply to the charts that utilize all branches). Defaults to ‘master’.

• 3d: Whether or not to use 3D pie charts. Can be true or false; defaults to true.
