By default, Autobisect will cache downloaded builds (up to 30GBs) to reduce bisection time. This behavior can be modified by supplying a custom configuration file in the following format:

[autobisect]
storage-path: /home/ubuntu/cached
persist: true
; size in MBs
persist-limit: 30000

Development

Autobisect includes a pre-commit hook for black and flake8. To install the pre-commit hook, run the following.

pre-commit install

Furthermore, all tests should be executed via tox.

poetry run tox
