I still haven’t tried your suggestion, but would it be able to show only merge commits from PRs already merged into main, while still showing all commits on my local work branches I have in progress?
`git log --first-parent` shows you only the list of commits accessible from HEAD by traversing their first parents. So, yes - your local work will usually have commits with just a single parent, so nothing will get skipped until it gets to merge commits.
It's also useful to skip noise if you happen to merge the upstream branch back into your topic branch for some reason.
Also, there's always `git log main..`, or even `git log main..topicbranch`. Combined with `--oneline` and perhaps `--graph`, `git log` is a really powerful tool to visualize repository state (and something that's incredibly lobotomized on popular Web frontends, unfortunately - I often end up cloning a repo to browse its history just because the Web UI is useless).
