# 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
git add -A
git commit -m "sixth commit"
vi index.html
# again just bad
git add -A
git commit -m "seventh commit"
```
## Commands
```sh
git bisect start
# Test your code
git bisect bad
git bisect next
# Say yes to the warning
# Test
git bisect good
# Test
git bisect bad
# Test
git bisect good
# done
git bisect reset
```
