I have added the repo from the review board UI. Do I need to save a local copy of the repo also.

In order to do what? You'll probably be using a local checkout on your client machine to do your development (and can post changes from that to the Review Board server with RBTools). In almost all cases the server does not need a local clone of the repository.

I want to raise a review request from the IDE. Is it possible to do so. I am only able to view the review requests which were already created earlier.

There are some third-party IDE integrations but we don't provide any ourselves. We recommend using the RBTools command-line suite.

When I go the the repository and then click on [RBTools Setup], it is asking me to save some information in a .reviewboardrc file in the root of your checked out working copy and commit it. In order to do that do I need to create a local copy of the repo also? I have just added it from the UI only.

Hi David

I am really stuck here. Do you have any idea what I should do at this point?

Hi Ayush,

To review code, you do not need a local clone of the repository. It can be done entirely in Review Board. No local repository or RBTools required.

Developers who post code are already working with a local clone of the repository. To post their in-progress changes for review, before they go into the repository, they'll use RBTools. This takes care of creating a review request from the local changes made in the repository. The .reviewboardrc file tells RBTools where the Review Board server is, what configured repository on Review Board the changes correspond to, and which upstream branch in the repository the diff should be built against.
