I'm fairly prolific on gitlab/github and have both clearly marked on my resume, but I've never had an instance of my portfolio being an important factor in a job application process. Based on my personal experience I have never once found Github to be worth it in terms of career advancement, it's more for personal fulfilment and interest. My guess is that unless you are a leading star in your field it's pretty irrelevant. That said, when screening/interviewing candidates I've often looked at their Github if they have one and that's definitely been a deciding factor for me, but I can't say that's something I've encountered from others in the industry.
