    publish¶

    rbt publish will publish the draft associated with the review request matching review-request-id.

    Usage:

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

    Default Options¶

    A number of options to rbt publish 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.

    –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.
