-I cannot edit the merge request / issue I've just retrieved
- It is likely that you used a ``MergeRequest``, ``GroupMergeRequest``,
- ``Issue`` or ``GroupIssue`` object. These objects cannot be edited. But you
- can create a new ``ProjectMergeRequest`` or ``ProjectIssue`` object to
- apply changes. For example::
-
- issue = gl.issues.list()[0]
- project = gl.projects.get(issue.project_id, lazy=True)
- editable_issue = project.issues.get(issue.iid, lazy=True)
- # you can now edit the object
-
- See the :ref:`merge requests example <merge_requests_examples>` and the
- :ref:`issues examples <issues_examples>`.
-
-How can I clone the repository of a project?
- python-gitlab doesn't provide an API to clone a project. You have to use a
- git library or call the ``git`` command.
-
- The git URI is exposed in the ``ssh_url_to_repo`` attribute of ``Project``
- objects.
-
- Example::
-
- import subprocess
-
- project = gl.projects.create(data) # or gl.projects.get(project_id)
- print(project.attributes) # displays all the attributes
- git_url = project.ssh_url_to_repo
- subprocess.call(['git', 'clone', git_url])
-
-I get an ``AttributeError`` when accessing attributes after ``save()`` or ``refresh()``.
- You are most likely trying to access an attribute that was not returned
- by the server on the second request. Please look at the documentation in
- :ref:`object_attributes` to see how to avoid this.
