query.graphql

query {
  repository(owner: "rails", name:"rails") {
    ref(qualifiedName:"master") {
      target {
        ... on Commit {
          id
          #
          # We're are requesting commits in the multiple of 5. We can assume that the page size here is 5.
          # Next page/cursor should use value in next multiples of 5s. So next page will have a
          # after: "05eaa07627376626902bd7acde35406edf1bb2f2 5"
          # And after that
          # after: "05eaa07627376626902bd7acde35406edf1bb2f2 10" (5 * 2)
          # It goes on like 5 * n where n = 0, 1, 2, 3...
          # 
          # When results reach the point upto a commit which has already been processed, the reqsests should
          # be stopped.
          #
