Git is a popular distributed revision control system heavily used by open source projects and companies of all sizes.
Review Board and Git work well together, whether hosted on a service like GitHub or hosted in-house in a company network. We use it ourselves in the development of Review Board.
RBTools makes it simple to post code reviews against Git right from your command prompt, like so:
$ rbt post
Validating commits...
Uploading commits...
Review request #2 posted.
https://reviewboard/r/2/
https://reviewboard/r/2/diff/
Made some changes to your code, and want to update your review request? That's as simple as running:
$ rbt post -u
Validating commits...
Uploading commits...
Review request #2 posted.
https://reviewboard/r/2/
https://reviewboard/r/2/diff/
We have a whole guide on best practices with Git that goes over all the ways you can make Git and RBTools work for you.
