Note that, once again, there is no actual data backing up this assertion. We like to say that github does this and it seems reasonable, but that is not the same as actually showing it to be the case. Here's the null hypothesis: nobody hires on the basis of the code you put up on github. You will find that hardly anybody even reads that code, even when you give them the link. It is meaningless unless you are already a big name for other reasons. If you want to maintain that github is a certificate or something, the burden is on you to provide sufficient cause to reject the null hypothesis.
