Before a change lands in the main branch, Review Board gives your team a self-hosted code review server where reviewers read the diff, open issues on specific lines, and sign off with a Ship It. Post a review request from the web or with RBTools, either before you commit or after, and every update becomes a new revision that stays in the history. Interdiffs show exactly what changed between revisions, and moved-code detection keeps rearranged blocks from drowning out real edits. Comments can open issues that reviewers later mark fixed or dropped. Images and Markdown files can be reviewed alongside code, with split, onion-skin, color, and side-by-side diffs for pictures. A dashboard with customizable columns separates incoming from outgoing requests by review group. Connect Git, Mercurial, Subversion, or Perforce repositories, including ones hosted on GitHub or GitLab, and review them all on one server. Slack and Discord notifications, Jenkins builds, and Review Bot linters report back inside the review. Private repositories and hidden or invite-only review groups restrict who sees what, with sign-in through Active Directory, LDAP, or SAML 2.0. A REST API, WebHooks, and Python extensions cover custom workflows. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.
