Anything that's not a bad github profile would be a good profile. Ideally, I would want someone who has done a lot of open source pull requests, or has some interesting projects, or has contributed to some big-name existing project. But even if you don't have that, a profile showing you actively work on programming as a hobby / for fun is a great way to say something about your interest in this career. On the other hand, I've hardly ever come across a profile that felt truly "bad" to me. The one exception would be that one guy whose history of pull requests is filled political-correctness-fueled changes to comments and function names.
