I got this error. Error: UTF8 codes > 3 bytes are not currently supported. Or perhaps "-Gcharset=latin1" is needed? Any suggestion on how to solve it? Thanks

Try git-draw -p > out.dot and dot -Gcharset=latin1 -Tpng out.dot > out.png

You're right. But I don't have a clear idea how to solve it. Maybe one command line option to define the character encoding used for the content of all git objects. Internally that would be passed on to dot ala "-Gcharset=latin1" as you suggested.

git-draw: command not found
why exist this problem?

Is the executable mode bit set? Being in the directory you installed git-draw do a ls like so

$ ls -la git-draw
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sensorflo sensorflo 11398 Feb 23 18:50 git-draw

The forth letter from the left must be an x like in the example above. You can set the executable bit like so

$ chmod u+x git-draw

When trying to execute, make sure the directory your git-draw script is in is in your PATH environment variable, or maybe better execute it like "./git-draw" instead just "git-draw".
