Steps

End the bisect session: `git bisect reset`. 6. Create a fix based on the identified commit. 7. Document the bisect result with the commit hash and explanation.

Format

Rules

• Always reset bisect when done to return to the original branch.
• Automate the test when possible: `git bisect run <test-command>`.
• If a commit cannot be tested, use `git bisect skip`.
