Asking about projects is the obvious thing, but only substantial and interesting projects really provide any interview value. Yet another Todo app doesn’t fit that criteria. Neither is another scaffolded crud app.
A PR to fix a bug in a semi-popular library is worth. But saying “I have a lot of repos” is def not.

When did I say that? I didn't. They should be looking at the repos and asking about them, not just taking your number of repos and using that as some kind of metric.
