Phabricator

We've got a test instance of Phabricator running here:

http://phabricator.itevenworks.net

Right now you can login by creating a regular account or via an FB account (support for other external systems coming soon).

You can browse code here:

And check your pending reviews here:

Using Phabricator from the command-line

A code review in Phabricator is called a Revision. You can create and close revisions directly from the command line via arc.

Installing arc

The only prerequisite for running arc is the php-cli package (on Fedora and php5-cli on Ubuntu).

 mkdir ~/arc
 cd ~/arc
 git clone git://github.com/facebook/libphutil.git
 git clone git://github.com/facebook/arcanist.git

and then extend your PATH (via ~/.bashrc or similar) to have it include:

 ~/arc/arcanist/bin

Configuring arc for your project

To use 'arc (with, say, Turtle Art) you need to create an .arcconfig inside your Turtle Art's repo clone:

 {
  "project_id" : "turtleart",
  "conduit_uri" : "http://phabricator.itevenworks.net/"
 }

As projects pick up Phabricator & arc I am expecting them to have a .arcconfig committed to their repos, so you'll be able to skip this step.

Create revisions

To create a new revision (a code review request) hack on something and create a commit and then:

 arc diff

If you are requested changes on that revision as part of the code review you can hack on those changes and then:

 git commit -a --amend

and then request a new review:

 arc diff

Note that this last command won't create a new revision - it'll update the existing one.

Once your reviewers are finally happy with that revision and it has been approved you can close it with:

 arc amend && git push
