I used bisect once in my life but it was extremely helpful. Without it I'd spend weeks trying to find regression. With bisect I found and fixed it in under 1 hour.
It's a command that is needed rarely but there's no replacement for it in some situations.
- pclowes 1y agoI am confused by this, isn't Bisect just some git ergonomics with respect to flagging a checked out commit as a success failure and then checking out the next midway commit depending of if it was a success/failure to enable classic binary search? It might be slightly more tedious but couldn't you just do the same thing manually and it would add just a couple minutes to the search and you would still save weeks? I like the ergonomics but only use it once every couple years.
