Do Recruiters/Hiring Managers Care About Your Git?
My friend who is a senior programmer and hirer at his business says he doesn't care what potential new hires have on Git but how they do during the interview and how their resume looks. I've been focusing on getting projects on my Git but am curious if my next hirer will even care. I take what my friend says with a grain of salt because he's fired half the people he has hired.

I do not have loads of experience as a junior dev but based on my experience I can say that they don't care about it as much as I thought they would. At least here in the UK.
During my interview they asked about my github and relevant projects but I explained I haven't been very active around the time I finished uni and they just nodded and moved onto the next question. I still got hired.
I'm not saying stop doing projects and uploading them on github. It is still a great way to practice and showcase your skills. But yeah I would agree with your friend that hiring managers care more about your resume/CV and how well you do during the interview.
