ginh is not a histogram
## Usage
```
Usage: `ginh [-h] [-a] [-n entries] [-f hist_file] [-c chart_char] [-l line_len]`
`ginh` generates a bar chart of your most frequently used shell commands,
according to your shell's history file.
Options:
-a disable reversing aliases to find the command they reference
-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
```
Example:
```
entries=15, file=/Users/crclark/.bash_history, char==, len=78

## 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!
