How do I see “merge events” in history?

I use the GitHub web interface and the git cli. Answers for either or both are appreciated.

Sometimes, when I merge a branch into another branch, I see a commit with a message like "Merge branch 'master' into other_branch" in the GitHub history. But not always. So how do I see all "merge events", inside the history?

Even better if I can get a view with vertical lines showing branches and merges (like a graph).
