You’re staring at a bug that definitely wasn’t there six months ago. The codebase has hundreds of commits since then. You could read through every one looking for the culprit - or you could let git bisect find it for you in five steps.

git bisect performs a binary search through your commit history. You tell it one good commit and one bad commit, and it checks out the midpoint for you to test. You say “good” or “bad”, it halves the range again (running a binary search) and in no time it tells you exactly which commit introduced the problem.
