In TortoiseGit, gitk or on BitBucket, it is common to have a visualization of the project history with all the branches, like this:
However, GitHub's commit history seems to be flat, at least I couldn't find a way to display this kind of graph. Can the GitHub's web UI somehow visualize branches like other Git clients commonly can?

You can see a graph, but without commit messages in Insights
=> Network
section (commit messages with authors are shown on hover).
Note: this works for public repos or GitHub Enterprise only!
Example: https://github.com/google/orbit/network

You could use Le Git Graph, a browser extension that does exactly this.
Install the extension from here : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/le-git-graph-commits-grap/joggkdfebigddmaagckekihhfncdobff
It will add a new "commits" section to every GitHub repo you open. Open the commits graph and there, all commits across branches will be listed along with the git graph.
Hope it helps!
