OK. That's fine. I have friends that will spend a month committing code on github everyday for the sole purpose to having greens on the page. It does help to get an interview because most often then not, all the employer sees is the green. No one is gonna go ahead and read the code. And if they do, what are they going to get out of it? I've seen people fake it, adding trivial changes everyday, uploading public tutorials they followed, or just formatting. I never ask for a github page myself because I don't know what to do with the information. But I do ask for a side project, and answering yes or no is not what makes or breaks a candidate. Instead it leads to a conversation about their coding and work philosophy. If you don't have a side project to show for, well you must have something to talk about in our field that can convince someone that you are a good candidate. If you do have one, well it has to be something that can convince someone that you are a good candidate.
