If you just want the commit ID, you can use for example:

$ git ls-remote https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/spice-nsis.git refs/heads/master f6ad44f35f5caeec51b7002169977272d85701a3 refs/heads/master

You might also want to take a look at the GitLab API docs, for example:

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/commits.html
