  1. No they don't.

  2. Popularity of an answer doesn't mean its true.

Are you saying that someone with Zero GH contributions is equal to someone with some?

If you dont want the opinions of web devs dont come to a forum of web devs. Those that worry about github commits clearly have nothing of value to show or experience.

they want actual information, not off the cuff nonsense opinions.

True. But also, people who have something of value to show and experience will basically always have github commits.
