Yeah, here in the slums of higher-ed dev/IT just having a github repos of any original code makes an applicant novel. We never really discussed an applicant's github code with them, but we absolutely read through and took it as a very positive hiring signal.

You don't have to have a huge contribution history or a project with a ton of stars, just having something out there matters to some places.
