Learn to use git bisect. If you have unit tests, which of course you should, it can save you so much time finding weird breakages.

With automated CI, I've had very few times where bisect is useful. Either the bug was introduced 1-2 commits ago, or it's always been there and the exact commit is irrelevant to the solution, since you just fix it forward.
