I know we don't really look at them that much unless the candidate specifically pointed to it for samples of their work. Sometimes I'll check and see if they have any cool stuff up there if they link it on their resume or portfolio site, but it's extremely non-required. (Esp since, if you work for a private company that uses source control, most of your interesting work is going to be in private repos anyway, haha.)
