# git bisect
|
|
|
|
> Use binary search to find the commit that introduced a bug.
|
|
> Git automatically jumps back and forth in the commit graph to progressively narrow down the faulty commit.
|
|
> More information: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bisect>.
|
|
|
|
- Start a bisect session on a commit range bounded by a known buggy commit, and a known clean (typically older) one:
|
|
|
|
`git bisect start {{bad_commit}} {{good_commit}}`
|
|
|
|
- For each commit that `git bisect` selects, mark it as "bad" or "good" after testing it for the issue:
|
|
|
|
`git bisect {{good|bad}}`
|
|
|
|
- After `git bisect` pinpoints the faulty commit, end the bisect session and return to the previous branch:
|
|
|
|
`git bisect reset`
|
|
|
|
- Skip a commit during a bisect (e.g. one that fails the tests due to a different issue):
|
|
|
|
`git bisect skip`
