How can 'git bisect skip' be done in TortoiseGit?


TortoiseGit has a GUI for running Git Bisect.

However during a bisect-session the context menu only provides 'Bisect good', 'Bisect bad' and 'Bisect reset'.

Is there a way to do 'Bisect skip' without the overhead of using the command line?


Solution

  • See the other answer that mentions that Bisect skip is now a feature in TortoiseGit. Nicely done, TortoiseGit!


    I haven't found a way to do it without the commandline. But you can use it to do just the skip and then get back to using TortoiseGit like so:

    1. Open "git bash" from the start menu
    2. Navigate into your project
    3. Issue the command: git bisect skip (thankfully, git bash shows you the relevant bit of the revision number you are on)

    It will check out a new revision, and then you can get back to testing and using TortoiseGit for "bisect good" and "bisect bad".

    The extra steps aren't that odious.
