Github isn't meant to be a portfolio of your work, but it's usually used like one. Github is a public server to host git repositories. (Gitlab is another one) It will give you a cloud backup of your code that you'll be able to access from anywhere as long as you have git in your hand. Beware of its policy thought, your code might be used to train AI or be forked by other people, and it will be public, so don't host private or sensitive data on it. Git is a distributed version control system. It allows you to tag versions of your code and organize team work on a source code. It's not the only tool to do that, but it's the most widely spread in the development industry. (Using github or the likes will also show recruiters that you have a bit of knowledge with git). Frequent commits will gives you the opportunity to revert your code if you made changes you don't want anymore. It was built for code, but it can be used with any text files. Binary files are usually badly supported. I suggest you do not put .pyc, .pyw or databases in git. I suggest you push everything, as often as possible even if it's a work in progress and use tag to identify versions of your code. Don't be afraid to contribute to other open source project if you want to. I don't know how useful the activity chart is used by recruiters though. You shouldn't give attention to it IMO.

Start using git first: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 . You do not need to learn it all, just the basics. Git is version control, think save states in computer games. You can play around (test branch), screw up a bit, then either save this as your new main, or revert back to your main save. Github is a remote git repository. Basically a place to save your code that isn't your PC. Git should be used in the first few days/weeks of learning to program. It is worth it. More on reddit.com

As you are using Git to host your progress with your code and coding in Python with VS, I would highly recommend using the built in git commands through the search bar at the top. They streamline the process massively. VS have their own channel where they regularly break down how to code using their program. This video is a good starting point for using Git. More on reddit.com
