				 Dutchess439yWhen I started work I was around a lot of people who did tonnes of personal projects outside of work and I felt really inadequate. The more time I spent I realised that was the exception and not the norm.

				You have to create a private repo "social-life" and push all your bash executables in that repo.
 
 Or probably that's why I'm still single. 😥

				@varundey my girl really liked that i have so much stuff
 and she wasn't a dev
 now she wants to learn and learns
 so
 use opensource as your power on geek-girls and you will receive profit in this field :)

				Also sometimes you get “free time“ to work on the opensource tools you need or in my case i may sometimes push additions to a library i made for a project

 I mean, last time I was looking for a job companies/recruiter were asking (not requiring) to include your GutHub username.. so I guess it's, from a point of view, a way to prove your knowledge.
 Just think about how many guys can't "FizzBuzz"

				I have the same question for life in general... people seem to have loads of money and free time at the same time... What am I missing? If I want money I have to work... :-/
 
 As for GitHub, we use it for work. I have thousands of commits into private repos. Public? 0. Lol.
