unless being a core contributor to a top project there is virtually no benefit in including your gh profile in resume. for a matter of fact, during a period of general online housekeeping, i have deleted my personal gh account. i now use my work one when needed, and never include it in my cv.
- skhg 6y agoHobby projects can show a diversity of interests that might be hard to compress into a short CV.

When I look at github profiles I assume they are going to be forks and garbage, which is fine - the person still at least knows github exists and probably has some concept of the point of source control. But when I see a project with an actual purpose that they wrote, or some commit history to a project they forked, that is a big plus! That is strong evidence that the candidate has a passion for programming.
