You have two choices (after logged in).

1. Use API url https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/version (you can use it from command line with private token), it returns {"version":"10.1.0","revision":"5a695c4"}
2. Use HELP url in browser https://gitlab.example.com/help and you will see version of GitLab, ie GitLab Community Edition 10.1.0 5a695c4
