Welcome to MergeBoard’s documentation!

MergeBoard is a web-based tool that makes reviewing code easier and enhances your chances to spot issues in the code. Besides the normal unified diff, as used by git and most other tools, our software introduces a new logic-based diff mode that focuses on showing the actual changes to the program flow. This mode hides style changes, indicates how code blocks are moved around, groups similar changes together and generally makes reviewing a lot easier.

Tip

MergeBoard does not replace GitLab, GitHub or other git hosting services. Our aim is to provide a great code review experience that you can integrate into your existing workflow, without forcing you to switch your existing tools. MergeBoard needs at least some way to access your git repository via network. It is recommended to use one of the source code hosting facilities or their self hosted equivalents. If you want to use the most manual and minimalist solution, you can also host a git repository by using an ssh server.
