What it does
Find the exact commit that introduced a bug. Use when something worked before and broke, and you don't know which change did it.
Bisect the Regression
- Find a known-good commit and a known-bad one. Confirm both by actually checking out and testing.
git bisect start; git bisect bad <bad>; git bisect good <good>.- At each step, run the SMALLEST test that distinguishes good from bad. Mark
git bisect good/bad. - When git names the first bad commit, read its diff. The bug is in those lines, don't guess elsewhere.
git bisect reset. Report: the commit, the line, the one-sentence cause. Automate it:git bisect run ./repro.shif you have a script that exits non-zero on the bug.
