Git bisect
Go bug hunting armed with a binary search tree
When I started using git as my VCS I skimmed the docs and git-bisect
caught my eye. I got acquainted with it rather quickly and have been using it regularly ever since. git-bisect
is a little handy git sub-command typically used to quickly narrow down the commit where a bug was introduced in a code base. It uses a simple binary search tree algorithm (BST) to test out different revisions by parting the remaining search space in half.
