project history lost or hidden

if i create rails project from template (using gitlab-ce 9.5.5-ce.0 docker), i see 3 commits

• 7a90f4b74f70afa6d83bcfc5214c600a6d50b208 Initial commit of the template project
• 8a8bc9b527a90ffeffb5d1ef09263aacd9e10e6e Add NodeJS as JS runtime
• 42fa6f17077d601adbee9c63dd4044e29e1a9921 Add template header to readme

but in supposedly origin repository i see only 1 commit
