What is Git Bisect?
Git Bisect is an interactive tool used to identify which commit in your project's history introduced a bug or regression. You start by identifying two commits: one where the issue isn't present (the "good" commit) and another where it is (the "bad" commit). Then, run git bisect start, followed by git bisect good for the good commit and git bisect bad for the bad commit. Git Bisect will guide you through a binary search process, asking you to test the midpoint of your current range until it identifies the exact commit that introduced the bug or regression.
