How does the Git Bisect feature help with debugging?

It performs a binary search through your commit history, checking out specific versions until it identifies the exact commit that introduced a bug or regression.

Is it safe to use for destructive operations like 'git clean'?

The skill prioritizes safety by recommending dry runs (-n) and creating backup branches before executing commands that modify or delete data.

Can I search for specific code changes across the entire history?

Yes, it supports advanced log searching using flags like -S (pickaxe) and -G (regex) to find when specific functions or code patterns were added or removed.

Can this skill recover deleted commits or branches?

Yes, it utilizes the Git Reflog to track every movement of the HEAD, allowing it to identify and restore commits that are no longer part of the visible branch history.

Does it support interactive rebasing?

Absolutely. The skill provides the logic and commands to squash, reword, drop, or reorder commits, helping you maintain a professional and readable project history.
