Ask HN: How to make GitHub profile appeal to employers, and still have a life?

What do you think employers generally want to see in a github profile?

Is it better to have lots of activity, random repos, work in progress, etc? or is a small set of completed, manicured projects (2 to 6 perhaps) more appealing?

this is assuming, to some degree, that i have a life. of what limited free time i have, i can't pour all of it into have a perfect github profile.
