- Is there something on your Github?
- Looking at the first few repos, does the code looks good? Is it copy/pasted, generated, a template, or your own code? Can I understand quickly what it does (README/docs)? Is there tests? Bonus for having external contributors/stars/forks/some collaboration going on.
- Looking at how you interact with other open source projects (e.g. issues/pull requests/contributions). Do you provide valuable information? Can you communicate clearly what was the issue/what you are solving/how?
In my case it's mainly to weed out all the bootcamp-generated Github accounts, the "testing languages/frameworks" accounts with no meaningful code and the people trying to game the system (contribution graph, etc.).
Obviously not everybody has a public/active Github project, but it's better not to mention it if it's not good.
- vladws 8y agoI have only my personal pet-projects and no work projects on Github. All work projects are in private repositories and under NDA. In this case, it turns out that it is better for me to create a few good projects specifically and push them on Github.
