So I completed writing code to generate report regarding git commit in CSV. What my boss was saying is :

I to have an annoying boss who is worse because some times he wants details but when I give them to him he doesn't understand. So I make a summary and he says that's all you did that sounds simple you don't work hard enough so next time I add the details
Of this "simple" task and get told my end of day is to detailed....

Long story short I feel your pain.

@TktStatusPICNIC
I think it gives him something to make himself feel important, he can't code yet he's in charge of programmers and wants reports to "manage" the workers. How he became a boss of anything is beyond me, guess it should it's who you know and not what you know.

I think he just passes the report on to his boss, to seem like he is managing something.

I just write them detailed, it's easier to brush off "I don't understand this, then your not working hard enough" pusses me off but you know...

@grolofson he is annoying, he could have asked to make summary report instead.

@TktStatusPICNIC he tests his plans using my skills rather planning and making a good design in the beginning. Anyway I am okay with all these.

@grolofson haha. You got about the actual situation. Its like i am making a cell to get locked in the future.

PowerShell would eat this up.

You might want to consider converting those git commits to something more simple like a graph and some figures for each contributor (size of changes and number of commit s per user could be into a useful stat). Then generate a one page report from that.

Those kind of people don't like, or understand that "much detail" that git gives.

@asosnovsky exactly.
