Get last x commits from Github repo using Github Api V4

I'm trying to use the new Github GraphQL api (v4) and I don't seem to be able to figure out how to get the last x commits for master. I've used repository and ref but they still don't give me what I need.

The query below almost gives me what I need:

query{
  repository(owner: "typelevel", name: "cats") {
    refs(refPrefix:"refs/heads/", last: 5) {
      edges{
        node {
          associatedPullRequests(states: MERGED, last: 5) {
            edges{
              node {
                title
                baseRef {
                  name
                  prefix
                }
                baseRefName
                commits(last: 10) {
                  edges {
                    node {
                      commit {
                        abbreviatedOid
                        message

                      }
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

but:

  1. doesn't seems to exactly match what is in the repo
  2. limited to PRs
  3. seems too unwieldy

I also tried using defaultBranchRef but that didn't work either:

query{
  repository(owner: "typelevel", name: "cats") {
    defaultBranchRef {
      name
      prefix
      associatedPullRequests(states: [MERGED], last: 5) {
        edges {
          node {
            title
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I've been testing the queries using the explorer app on the Github api page.

Any ideas?

Here's the shortest way that works on any default branch even if it's not named master

Last 10 commits

{
  repository(owner: "fregante", name: "webext-fun") {
    defaultBranchRef {
      target {
        ... on Commit {
          history(first: 10) {
            nodes {
              oid
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Last 1 commit (HEAD)

{
  repository(owner: "fregante", name: "webext-fun") {
    defaultBranchRef {
      target {
        oid
      }
    }
  }
}
