Apparently macOS ships with BSD getopt while OMGF uses some features of GNU getopt (especially long parameter names). This has multiple solutions:

require macOS users to install GNU getopt via Brew or MacPorts
- easiest for us since we plan to do Brew package anyway, however reduces portability on *BSD platforms
parse options ourselves
use some parsing library like opt-in, this snippet, getopts_long, or shFlags

I have noticed that the git-flow-avh has a dependency on GNU getopt via Homebrew, so I think we can solve this through the formula for Homebrew.

This is hopefully solved. Feel free to comment and reopen.
