Basic GIT commands

Some GIT commands :

git init # create a new repository
git clone <url> # clone a repository from the given <url>
git add <file> # add a <file> to the staging area
git commit -m "<message>" # commit the changes
git push # push the changes to the remote repository
git fetch # fetch the changes from the remote repository
git pull # pull the changes from the remote repository

git status # check the status of the repository
git log # view the commit history

git branch # list all branches
git switch <branch> # switch to a <branch>
git checkout <branch> # switch to a <branch>
git merge <branch> # merge a <branch> into the current branch
git reset --soft HEAD~1 # remove the last commit

git bisect

git bisect is a command that helps you find the commit that introduced a bug by performing a binary search through the commit history. It allows you to quickly narrow down the range of commits to identify the specific commit that caused the issue.

git bisect start
git bisect bad # mark the current commit as bad
git bisect good <commit> # mark a known good commit
# git will checkout a commit in the middle of the range
# test the code
git bisect good # if the commit is good
# or
git bisect bad # if the commit is bad
# repeat the testing process until the bad commit is found
git bisect reset # reset to the original HEAD
