An Auto-Status Generator for Software Projects

As a software project manager, I often have to create status reports about software projects.

In a good software process, status reports should not really be necessary. The on-line tools, from github to JIRA, can already provide a great deal of really useful information on project progress. But I can never get any of my bosses to ever look at them. ;-)

(I also suspect that they rarely or never look at the status reports, beyond the first sentence.)

So why not have a little python program that will automatically generate my status report?

Here's the requirements:

  • Takes a date and gets git commit comments for that day.
  • Can do whole project or just one user.
