I agree with Fabio. We do like when a candidate adds GitHub link (especially students).

We generally use GitHub to check if the technologies listed in the resume matches with any of the technologies listed. Although it doesn't play any major role in the decision making process, it does gives an idea about the candidate. Sometimes, We do check the coding style/commit frequency/level of difficulty in the problem solution, especially when he's short listed for the final round.

Also if they have any open source contributions, it tells that We don't need to train the candidate on 'git' and 'Pull Requests' after he joins the team.
