We’ve launched a new feature today for simplifying your code review workflow.
If you’re using GitHub, Bitbucket, or Google Code, RBCommons can now automatically close your review requests when you push your commits to your repository, making use of the service’s “post-commit” hooks. You’ll no longer need to click Close -> Submitted, saving time and keeping your dashboard clean.
Usage is simple
Once you’re set up (and we’ll go into that in a minute), all you need to do is include the following in your commit message:
Reviewed at https://rbcommons.com/s/<your-team>/r/<id>/
Or:
Review Request #<id>
Just commit, and your review request will be automatically closed, along with a message containing the commit revision and which branch it was committed to.
Setting this up
Setup depends on which service you’re using for your repositories, but we’ve worked to make it pretty simple.
We’ve added some new buttons to your Team Administration -> Repositories page. You’ll see a “Hooks” button next to any supported repository. Click that, and you’ll see instructions on turning this feature on for your repository. In just seconds, your repository will be set up!
This feature is still new, but has been undergoing testing for several weeks. If you hit any snags, let us know and we’ll help get you going.
