I am a relatively new Git and Github user. I am just an average gitter/githubber but when I look at my own public github profile, it makes me realize the following:
1. It tells me that I can use Git/Github (even if not advanced). Probably not a big deal but still.
2. By looking at the projects that I have either forked or initiated on my own, it tells you what kind of things I might be interested in building. Of course, there could be many other things that are not listed there but still gives you an idea. For example, forking Git itself vs. forking jquery. May be I am more of a backend engineer vs. frontend engineer. May be I am into opensource projects or just like to write my own utilities. All these things can tell you a lot about me.
3. You can immediately see what programming languages I am using. For example, my github is primarily about python (duh!!) and I wrote one simple project to convert financial statements (QFX format etc.) into csv using python. Again, I know thats child's play for the pros but hey, I learnt python doing that.
4. You can also learn if I lean towards any specific frameworks/tech/libraries etc. For example, I am into Flask framework for web dev.
5. How I document things. E.g.README.md etc. This is useful as well to understand if I can communicate what I am building with others. Also shows how I collaborate with other teams/project members.
Hope this helps.
