How can i view all the commits of a branch on GitHub?

In GitHub, how can I get a list of commits on a branch?

When i open the webpage for a repository, i click the "branches" tab among "commits", "releases" and "contributor" tabs. Then i click the branch in interest, but I don't see a list of commits on the webpage of the branch.

If there is a pull request for merging the branch into another branch, when I open the webpage for the pull request, I see the "Commits" tab among "Conversations" and "Files Changed" tabs. Clicking "Commits" tab will show me a list of commits on the branch.

So GitHub seems to organize the commits on pull request level, rather than on branch level. Is it correct?

Thanks.

There’s now Activity on the repo home page, from where you can filter commits by branch, user or time.

https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/activity

When you have opened the branch you want in GitHub's code tab, click on [number] commits and you'll see the full commit history starting from that branch. Note that there will be overlap between branches that are based on each other because unlike a pull request, this is a full history view instead of a comparison.
