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?

    It’s mostly relevant for a project you’re not familiar with (perhaps it is/was someone else’s project, or perhaps a project that’s too large for a single user to be familiar with the entirety of), since it helps you figure out where a bug came from.

    If you’re familiar with the entire project you usually don’t need it IME.
