I more often heard and used "bisect". Is that subtly different or subtly the same?


It's the same, e.g. the git bisect command is just a binary search API for a commit history.


To finish the thought explicitly ~

If one has pretty good automated tests, it’s possible to automate and pinpoint which commit has the last working version and which commit had the test failure by using git bisect and using the test results as input.
