Download the [latest binaries](https://github.com/mlange-42/git-graph/releases) for your platform\n2. Unzip somewhere\n3. *Optional:* add directory `git-graph` to your `PATH` environmental variable\n\n**Using `cargo`**\n\nIn case you have [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) installed, you can install with `cargo`:\n\n```\ncargo install git-graph\n```\n\n**From `homebrew`**\n",
