Git bisect for fun and profit

Session Category Sessions off the "Drupal Island" Audience Intermediate

When you need to discover a regression, it's great to know when it happened! It's surprisingly easy to do with git bisect - You can find out what commit had a regression, and in the process you'll learn how to think carefully about how to define and solve the problem. 

We'll cover:

  • How simple it is to do the basic git bisect to find out when something went wrong
  • How to do fancier things (like a composer install at the point of a piece of code, or a database import)
  • How to make a simple script that will do all the work while you're having coffee or sleeping

It's easy. Take the little bit of time to master a great tool.
