I don't think your issues with Gitlab's UI are the UI's fault. In addition to clicking on the "repository" link (which is a common term used by both Git and Github themselves) or scrolling up as others have noted, you can also click on any of the first three links immediately under the gitlab logo ("httpx", "project", and "details") to get to a view similar to github's default.
