Hello!

Other fellow developers can join me on this haha But in summary, using GitHub to store your projects and help the open source community shows that you are interest and have knowledge while building portfolio. Many companies look around the internet to see more of your work, so it's good to have a good profile with your main projects and repos for study.

And for the Open source community, I would say that be active in the Open Source projects helps you to work with another developers, think together to improve or create a tool/software and pushes you to create your developer side, improving your way of thinking and problem solving. You gain experience as a developer and help the community grow as well the tool or software you are helping to develop and solve issues.

I'll leave some links that may be interesting to read, and don't hesitate to interact with the community and show your work on your profile, we all are always trying to improve ourselves and help other developers :)
