 - `-i` / `--include-pattern`: Include files matching Unix shell-style wildcards
 - `-e` / `--exclude-pattern`: Exclude files matching Unix shell-style wildcards
 - `-b` / `--branch`: Specify branch to analyze (defaults to repository's default branch)
 - `-t` / `--token`: GitHub personal access token for private repositories
+- `-o` / `--output`: Stream to STDOUT with `-` (default saves to `digest.txt`)
