I had a director that was obsessed with github enterprise stats. He forbid people from squashing commits and told people to commit every day, even if you're in the middle of something.

One of our interns was close to the end of his term and this director wanted to hire him. He thought he was amazing based on all the code he wrote. The problem was that this intern was bad, so we had him write unit tests. But he was bad at that too so he had to make a lot of revisions based on feedback. Thankfully we didn't hire him after myself and others explained why the intern had so many commits and LOC.
