#git #merge
How to find the commit that broke something after a merge in Git?
SOLUTION:
Git offers a great binary search facility in the form of git-bisect. First you have to perform the initial setup:
• git bisect start #starts the bisecting session
• git bisect bad #marks the current revision as bad
• git bisect good revision #marks the last known good revision
After this git will automatically checkout a revision halfway between the known “good” and “bad” versions. Specs can be run again and commit can be marked as “good” or “bad” accordingly.
• git bisect good # or git bisec bad
This process continues until we get to the commit that introduced the bug.
