git bisect run

git-bisect-run
Quick git tip: Most of you know (and love) git's "bisect" command, but how many have used "git bisect run"? Specify a shell script/command, and git will automatically run it on each bisect step. If it exits with a 0, the commit is marked "good". Anything else, and the commit is marked "bad".
For example, want to find the cause of a failing test?
git bisect start <failing commit> <passing commit>
git bisect run sh -c '(cd app && grunt test)'
Voila! Git will automatically find the first commit in the given range that fails the tests.
