Right. Don't "require" a GH, but use it if it's there!
Yes, some of the code may not be original, but unless the repo is a fork you can pretty easily see if the code is organized in a coherent way that shows the committer knew how to decompose a problem well. If they solved /every/ piece of the problem themselves, it may be a sign of a different problem (and also copy/pasting without citing source is also telling!)
