About:
Git-Test is a command-line utility designed to automate testing across a series of Git commits. It iterates through a revision list, checking out each distinct tree and running a specified test command. This helps developers identify exactly when a regression was introduced in their history.

Key Features:

Iterates through Git revision history
Runs arbitrary test commands per commit
Identifies the specific commit that broke tests
Simple command-line interface

Use Cases:

Bisecting history to find the origin of a regression
Verifying test stability across a feature branch
Ensuring all historical commits in a series pass tests

Alternatives:

git bisect – Built-in Git command that requires manual steps per commit, whereas git-test automates the process for a linear range.
CI/CD Pipelines – Runs tests on the latest commit only, while git-test runs them locally on every commit in a list.
