If you list your github, I will probably poke through it. If its good I might get excited, if its not, i am not going to really hold that against you as its likely all side projects you are not getting paid for.

If I find dangerous stuff in there like leaked passwords, tokens, or keys in plain sight, I am going to recommend not calling back for an interview. I want people on my team that I can trust above all else.

Most of the time When I poke through someone's gh profile, it was all one commit repos, from a few days ago, and half the code is commented out. I'm not really going to get excited either way for this.
