I've been programming for 20 years and very little of that shows up on any public or private github repo.

Anecdata: My experience when asking others around my region (mid-southern US, not quite Midwest) is that no one ever looks at that kind of thing. If they do look, they look at the projects being made and how your methodology / way of thinking handles a situation, not how active the profile is.
