How can I tell magit to use the --first-parent option?
I only want to see commits onto this branch, none from merged branches.

--first-parent is included in current versions of Magit, but at a higher level than is shown by default in the transient menus.
Refer to C-hig (transient)Enabling and Disabling Suffixes for how to control this.
From the Magit Log menu you can either:
- Change the default level for that menu using
C-x l C-x lto make all those hidden options visible. - Change the level of
--first-parentspecifically withC-x l =p, to include it at your current level.
Alternatively, you can customize transient-default-level.

Looks like
C-x lis bound tocount-lines-page. UsingC-h k: "C-x lruns the command count-lines-page (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘page.el’."– mcpJun 6, 2021 at 3:58 -
Did you type it with the magit log transient menu open? If so, which version of Magit are you using?– philsJun 6, 2021 at 7:33

Yup, that was my problem! I was trying it from the log buffer, not the transient menu. Marking as solution.– mcpJun 7, 2021 at 16:46
