Review Board
Review Board is a web-based tool for reviewing code and other project files, including images, documentation, presentations, and marketing materials. Teams can set flexible workflows, control approvals, and keep an audit trail of review decisions. Review Bot automates checks through lint, static-analysis, compliance, and security tools. A Python extension framework, REST APIs, webhooks, and RBTools support workflow and integration customization. Review Board can be self-hosted on compatible Linux systems, macOS, or WSL for Windows, including Docker deployments, and can run on private networks or in air-gapped environments.
