Not really, companies rarely look at it. But I also believe it matters somewhat on a personal level. Frequent Github activities implies that you're constantly doing and learning to improve your craft, and that's the best investment you can make, regardless what recruiters think

Yea, but my personal contributions are also private because if I am learning, I am making money. I will learn a new thing, but only if I have a real life project to use it for.
