Figure out which commit introduced that new bug

“git-bisect — Use binary search to find the commit that introduced a bug” —  Git’s official docs

It’s best to go through a real example in order to understand this command and demonstrate how it works.

Let’s create an empty Git project and add the following commits:

git commit --allow-empty -m 'good commit 1'
git commit --allow-empty -m 'good commit 2'
git commit --allow-empty -m 'good commit 3'
git commit --allow-empty -m 'good commit 4'
git commit --allow-empty -m 'good commit 5'
git commit --allow-empty -m 'good commit 6'
git commit --allow-empty -m 'BAD COMMIT'
git commit --allow-empty -m 'good commit 7'
git commit --allow-empty -m 'good commit 8'
git commit --allow-empty -m 'good commit 9'
git commit --allow-empty -m 'good commit 10'
