rbt: Patch your tree with a change on a review request.

The command "rbt patch ${review_request_id}" is a command-line command that is typically used in the context of the Review Board Tools (rbt) tool. It is used to create or update a diff associated with a specific review request by applying it as a patch.

Let's break down the command:

  • "rbt": It is the command-line interface (CLI) tool, commonly known as the Review Board Tools (rbt), used to interact with Review Board, a web-based code review tool.
  • "patch": It is a command provided by rbt to create or update a diff for a review request.

Inside the command, "${review_request_id}" is a placeholder representing the unique identifier of the review request for which the patch needs to be created or updated. The actual value of "${review_request_id}" should be replaced with the desired review request ID.

Essentially, when you execute this command, the rbt tool will generate a patch containing all the changes made in the code associated with the specified review request ID. This patch can be applied or used for code review purposes.
