git history of fetches

Is there any way to see history of execution git fetch (update from remote) command?
For example:
01 Jan fetched from sha: 01abcdf to sha: bdf412

I have regression in my code and I know time when this regression is not present.
My git graph is straight, so I thought, if will know my fetch history I can easily detect commit that brings this regression.

There is no such log (for fetching) to my knowledge, but there are other ways to find when the bug was introduced.

  1. Use git rev-list to see which commits you actually checked out (this is different than simply fetching).
  2. If that does not help, use git bisect, which is a more powerful and complicated tool. It will make it easier to go through the commits, until you find the one that is broken.

If you want to detect where a regression came from, use git bisect

git bisect does a dichotomy search, you have to specify a good and a bad hash, it will then jump to revisions and ask you if the commit is good or bad.

git bisect start
git bisect good SOME_HASH
git bisect bad SOME_OTHER_HASH
# Git will jump to a revision and let you test
git bisect good # Or bad, depending on if the bug is still here
git bisect bad ...
# And so on
