It'd be cool to visualise a rebase using the --rebase-merges and --onto options. Looks like it's not yet supported.

usage: git-sim [-h] [--title TITLE] [--logo LOGO] [--outro-top-text OUTRO_TOP_TEXT] [--outro-bottom-text OUTRO_BOTTOM_TEXT] [--show-intro] [--show-outro] [--media-dir MEDIA_DIR] [--low-quality] [--light-mode]

git-sim: error: unrecognized arguments: --rebase-merges --onto another-branch

Currently only one argument for rebase is supported: branch:

$ git-sim rebase -h
usage: git-sim rebase [-h] branch

positional arguments:
  branch      The branch to simulate rebasing the checked-out commit onto

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Hi @caarmen!

Thanks for the suggestion. I would love to get this in at some point. I'm working on various updates/enhancements for the tool, so don't have a timeline at the moment, but I'll keep this open for now!
