So how do you handle the minority who have much to show on Github? Do you use the same or different process for this minority? If the same process, then IMHO, it is a one size fits all which does not seem right. Sincerely wish to know your experience/thoughts in the minority context, a Minority Report if we can call that :-)

In the case of people with a portfolio on github, it's still somewhat hard to tell what they actually did in the projects, e.g. if they build an app from a template, it looks like a ton, you also can't tell if the resulting thing actually works.

For me, I'll certainly look at a Github if someone links it or mentions their OSS work on a resume. I'm looking for positive evidence that a candidate takes on substantive tasks and writes good code, which means looking to wherever a candidate has put their effort. It's never the only factor, so I have no problem saying I'll look to Github iff it has content.
