    close¶

    rbt close will close the review request matching review-request-id as submitted. Optionally a review request may be discarded by providing the value discarded to the --close-type option.

    Usage:

    $ rbt close [options] <review-request-id>
    

    Default Options¶

    A number of options to rbt close can be set by default in .reviewboardrc. These can go either in the repository’s or the user’s .reviewboardrc.

    The options include:

    • DEBUG (-d)
    • REVIEWBOARD_URL (--server)
    • USERNAME (--username)
    • PASSWORD (--password)
    • REPOSITORY_TYPE (--repository-type)

    Options¶

    -d, –debug¶

    Display debug output.

    The default can be set in DEBUG in .reviewboardrc.

    –close-type¶

    Either submitted or discarded. If not supplied, defaults to submitted.

    –description¶

    Optional description accompanying the change.

    –server¶

    Specify a different Review Board server to use.

    The default can be set in REVIEWBOARD_URL in .reviewboardrc.

    –username¶

    Username to be supplied to the Review Board server.

    The default can be set in USERNAME in .reviewboardrc.

    –password¶

    Password to be supplied to the Review Board server.

    The default can be set in PASSWORD in .reviewboardrc.

    –repository-type¶

    Specifies the type of repository in the current directory. In most cases this should be detected automatically, but some directory structures containing multiple repositories require this option to select the proper type. The rbt list-repo-types command can be used to list the supported values.

    The default can be set in REPOSITORY_TYPE in .reviewboardrc.

    Keep up with the latest Review Board releases, security updates, and helpful information.
