(analogous to T1740, but for repos hosted on GitLab instances)
Info about an individual repository (called "project" in GitLab terminology) can be obtained using the [[ https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/projects.html#get-single-project | /projects endpoint ]], e.g.:
```
$ curl --silent "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/gitlab-org%2Fgitlab" | jq
