## Bisecting an issue
|
||||
|
||||
"Bisecting" is finding the first _git_ commit that introduced a specific bug or
|
||||
regression using binary search. This is done in `git` using the `git bisect` command.
|
||||
|
||||
First, clone the Hyprland repo if you haven't already:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git clone --recursive https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland
|
||||
cd Hyprland
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Start the bisect process:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git bisect start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Enter the first known good commit hash that did not contain the issue:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git bisect good [good commit]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, enter the known bad commit hash that does contain the issue. You can simply use HEAD:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git bisect bad HEAD
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_git_ will now checkout a commit in the middle of the specified range.
|
||||
Now, build and install Hyprland:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
make all
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
...and run Hyprland from the TTY.
|
||||
|
||||
Try to reproduce your issue. If you can't (i.e. the bug is not present), go back to the
|
||||
Hyprland repo and run `git bisect good`. If you can reproduce it, run `git bisect bad`.
|
||||
_git_ will then checkout another commit and continue the binary search.
|
||||
|
||||
Build and install Hyprland again and repeat this step until _git_ identifies the
|
||||
commit that introduced the bug:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[commit hash] is the first bad commit
|
||||
```
