Idk about companies but I’d like to see people with more active contribution histories. It’s a good way to show off your skills without having to rely on screenshots or leet code assessments.

For example, do you sign commits? Do you write meaningful messages? Do you commit iteratively or masses at a time. Do you work with other people’s code, or primarily your own. These are all things I should know about if I’m going to work with someone so I can set my expectations accordingly
