# Bisect
|
|
|
|
- Find a commit that introduced a bug
|
|
- Works through a process of elimination
|
|
- Specify a known good and bad revision to begin
|
|
|
|
## Bisect sample workflow
|
|
|
|
1. Start the bisect process
|
|
1. Enter the bad revision (usually latest commit)
|
|
1. Enter a known good revision (commit/branch)
|
|
1. Run code to see if bug still exists
|
|
1. Tell bisect the result
|
|
1. Repeat the previous 2 items until you find the offending commit
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir bisect-ex
|
|
cd bisect-ex
|
|
touch index.html
|
|
git add -A
|
|
git commit -m "starting out"
|
|
vi index.html
|
|
# Add all good
|
|
git add -A
|
|
git commit -m "second commit"
|
|
vi index.html
|
|
# Add all good 2
|
|
git add -A
|
|
git commit -m "third commit"
|
|
vi index.html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Add all good 3
|
|
git add -A
|
|
git commit -m "fourth commit"
|
|
vi index.html
|
|
# This looks bad
|
|
git add -A
|
|
git commit -m "fifth commit"
|
|
vi index.html
|
|
# Really bad
