How do you handle untestable commits during `git bisect`?

1Delete them with git bisect drop
✓Correct answer: Mark them with git bisect skip
3Restart bisect from the first commit

Explanation

Skipped commits are excluded and Git picks a nearby one. If the culprit is adjacent to skipped commits, Git reports a range instead of one commit.
