The project tech lead asks me to add some Docker configuration files sent by the client to a project. He gives me a zip file and I unzip it and add the files to Git. Job done.
Later he checks the commit and starts bitching because I unzipped the file and it should have been added as a zip. After much debate trying to explain to him that Docker wouldn't open the zip file to search for the Dockerfile he just says "Can you just do it? I double checked with the client!". I give up after giving him all the arguments why he is wrong and do it.
The next day the client checks the commit and comments bitching that I included the zip file and not the contents of it.

    Solution, make sure your pm cannot use Git

    @SCollins PM? He was a tech lead. He needs to know Git.

    @rtannerf the client had read access only to the repo, so they couldn't add the file themselves. Both the client and I knew damn well that the files needed to be there unzipped, it was just the tech lead of the project who was being dumb and refusing to listen to me.
