- **text** - text to write to the commit chart

Available options:

- **-h**, **--help** - show usage instructions
- **-d**, **--start_date** - the date to start with, **should be a Sunday**
- **-o**, **--offset** - number of spaces to leave to the left (default is 0)
- **-s**, **--spacing** - spacing between letters (default is 1)
- **-w**, **--space_width** - width of space character (default is 4)
- **-c**, **--commits** - number of commits per pixel (default is 50)

The default ``start_date`` is the Sunday 52 weeks before the last one, which
is the first pixel visible on the commit chart.
