I find it very concerning that potential employers expect people to not only write code in their free time but to also publish it on the internet. It doesn't say anything about skill.
I think that every employer and recruiter have different views on this. Some want to see how consistent you are when it comes to coding and others just want to see if you write quality code and if it's finished. I am trying not to sweat it too much because there are other ways to showcase your coding skills, such as your portfolio. :)
Publishing code into Github is good practice because every your potencial employers can see how quality code you write and what you really know if you are beginner and don't have a lot of experiences yet.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
What if you choose to use something other than Github? Are you promoting the idea of essentially duplicating every commit into a service you don't like?

Yep, I agree.
