Have you ever used git bisect? If so, how did you use it? Did it help you find a problem which would otherwise be difficult to find? Story time, I guess?

    Have you ever used git bisect?

    Yup. A few times a year.

    If so, how did you use it? Did it help you find a problem which would otherwise be difficult to find?

    It helps me track down regressions, as in “this used to work, didn’t it?” or worse “haven’t I fixed this before?”.

    I start a bisect, pick something relatively old, check if it works there, rinse, repeat.
