Yeah, I was wanted to use the Git graph feature to create some nice diagrams. I expected the cli to work just like graphviz. Yet I was greeted by a stacktrace from Chromium since it did not work in WSL.

The whole idea of depending on a full blown Chromium for your cli tool just to convert that mermaid description into an SVG or PNG seems bad to me. It was my personal turning point where I stopped using JavaScript based tools in my toolbox.
