Answer above is missing an example which might not be obvious (it wasn't to me).

Url could be broken down into parts

                  \_____/\________/       \_______________________________________/
                   |        |                              |
            Account name    |                      Hash of revision
                        Project name

Hash can be found here (you can click it and will get the url from browser).

Hope this saves you some time.

If you are trying to reference a commit in another repo than the issue is in  you can prefix the commit short hash with reponame     Suppose your commit is in the repo named dev  and the GitLab issue is in the repo named test  You can leave a comment on the issue and reference the commit by dev e9c11f0a  where e9c11f0a is the first 8 letters of the sha hash of the commit you want to link to  if that makes sense
