I've never really been actively trying to keep my GitHub green purely for future employers. My GitHub has quite some green activity due to some hobby projects I do on my own, or hobby projects I mess around with with other friends of mine. Although most of these projects are private, it still shows that I'm relatively active.
I've never really considered GitHub to give me the upper hand however, although that might just differ based on country. I do agree however with the people that GitHub is a good place to show off your coding skills if it's open. Although I think that the interested employer will get ahold of your coding skills also without GitHub.
I personally wouldn't stress too much on trying extremely hard to get that profile in the green with commits and pull requests left and right, purely to have it in the green and have commits and pull requests left and right. It should be more of a natural thing! If you enjoy coding, and sharing your code, GitHub is the place to be. Although I don't think it should be enforced to have a better shot at getting a job or something.
