Using git bisect to track down hard to find issues
summary
Shows that git bisect pinpoints the exact commit that introduced a behavior change, turning a search across 270 commits into a handful of steps by using a binary search. Demonstrates manual bisect and an automated workflow with git bisect run that calls PowerShell with -Version 2, requires a script to return 0/1, and locates a compatibility bug (PowerShell 2 vs 3 operator) so the offending diff can be inspected and fixed.
