RB Gateway is a microservice built to address shortcomings in Git and
Mercurial's APIs. Git, in particular, doesn't provide a lot of access to the
contents of repositories, meaning that tools like Review Board typically have
to depend on specific hosting services (like GitHub Enterprise or GitLab) or
hacks to work.
When using RB Gateway, you can get all the benefits of those other services
for your own self-hosted Git and Mercurial repositories. You can manage your
repositories, browse for commits, and close review requests when a commit is
pushed, with more features coming in the future.
