It's probably too new for there to be actual trends, but I'd say treat it like any other portfolio

I can see Github profiles going two ways:

  1. A way to describe your open source contributions and what you're learning ("these are my goals")
  2. A way to describe your skills and what you've done that shows what you can contribute ("these are my accomplishments")

Either way, that fits the use case of a portfolio. Showing your value to a company vs showing your value to the open-source community isn't inherently different. Mine's full of gifs either way :)
