Why would HR look at your github account? They are just screening hundreds of resumes to find the ones worth interviewing; they don't have time to dig deep. It's up to the individual interviewers to look further if they feel motivated and have time, which they probably don't.

I think I can recall maybe once having seen someone list a github account on their resume. It definitely hasn't been common in my experience; certainly not enough so that people would be on the lookout for repository links.
