git bisect skip

posted in: Tech Journal | 0

I was doing a git bisect in my current development branch of Hello Bruce Trail to help nail down a particular problem.

At a certain point I reached a commit that I could not test properly to determine whether it was a bad commit or good commit. If only there was a way I could skip this undetermined commit and continue the bisect process with the next commit.

It turns out there is! There is an aptly named “skip” operation.

git bisect skip

This operation marks the current bisection point as a “skip” commit and allows me to continue the bisection process.

This operation is documented in the git-bisect Documentation.
