Talk: Bug hunting with Git Bisect

Bugs are introduced in our code almost everyday, one way or another, even if we do our best to avoid it.

Often, we need to identify where a bug originated to fix it, but we have to sift through a long history of commits to do that. Git comes to the rescue!

In this talk I will walk you through the usage of the Git’s bisect function that I used to track down a commit inside the Symfony repo that triggered a bug in my code.
