How to test the branch tip after landing and revert the culprit with git-ai

Run graft-verify so a failing tip is bisected and the change that broke it is reverted without a human.

Who it is forMaintainer whose agents land fast and who needs broken builds caught after the fact, not before every land

The problemWhen many changes land at once, finding which one broke the tests means manual bisecting while main stays red.

The outcomeA failure on the tip is bisected to the offending change, which is reverted automatically.

What you need first

  • Linux or macOS
  • Go 1.26, a C toolchain, Meson and Ninja (the build compiles a bundled Git)
  • No paid keys needed; conflict resolution can use any LLM provider, a deterministic tool, or none
  • SQLite or PostgreSQL plus object storage (file, S3, GCS, Azure) only if you move the repo state off local Git

Steps

  1. Read doc/graft/VERIFY.md for how graft-verify is configured
  2. Point graft-verify at your repository and test command
  3. Land a deliberately failing change from one agent
  4. Check that graft-verify identifies and reverts that change

Prompt for your agent

In feder-cr/git-ai, set up graft-verify per doc/graft/VERIFY.md against <repo-path> with the test command <test-cmd>. Land one change that fails the tests and verify it gets reverted.

Caveat. An automatic revert rewrites your branch, so only point it at a throwaway or fully backed-up repo first.

About git-ai

Version control built for coding agents instead of humans, so many agents can work on one codebase without stepping on each other. View feder-cr/git-ai on GitHub.
