Git Bisect y herramientas avanzadas de depuración

# Start bisecting
git bisect start
 
# Mark the current commit as broken
git bisect bad
 
# Mark a known-good commit (e.g., last week's release)
git bisect good v2.3.0
 
# Git checks out a middle commit — test it
# If the bug exists:
git bisect bad
# If the bug does NOT exist:
git bisect good
 
# Repeat 5-7 times for 100+ commits
# Git narrows down to the exact problem commit

# Automated bisect — runs a test script at each step
git bisect start HEAD v2.3.0
git bisect run npm test -- --grep "payment calculation"
 
# Or with a custom script
git bisect run ./scripts/check-bug.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# check-bug.sh — exit 0 = good, exit 1 = bad
set -euo pipefail
 
npm run build 2>/dev/null
# Test the specific behavior that's broken
