Modern Source and Version Control with Git
summary
Explains concrete workflows: use git rebase interactive to split and rewrite small commits with clean messages, run git bisect run (automated scripts) to binary-search a regression across a complex DAG, and keep one black box test per feature and per bug so bisect can run tests per-commit. Cites Linux merge windows (~10,000 commits every two weeks) to show why bisect matters, describes using sharness-style shell tests and how bisect handles non‑buildable commits with skip/exit codes.
