All kidding aside, it's something great to point at something when applying for a job. I'll just say this as a person looking at a candidate: I'm probably not gonna look at your Github. Especially if it's filled with simple tutorials from a book or from YouTube that a bunch of other people have followed.

Extra points if I read it and applied the knowledge. This did happen one time. I was stoked.

I'm more likely to look at stuff like a blog post if I really want to gauge your expertise on a subject and see your attention to detail.
