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?
Just yesterday 😅 there’s a bug in the main branch of Lemmy itself that I was trying to pinpoint (introduced after 0.18.0 was tagged). Instead of walking through all recent commits manually, I used bisect.
Bisect is not a magic bullet, and you could do the same manually, but it’s a good tool in the toolbox to know sometimes.
