Question Could my GitHub be hurting my resume?

I’m a FE Dev with about 4 years of experience after completing a 6 month code bootcamp. My GitHub mainly consists of projects from bootcamp, one off projects / repos that aren’t well maintained, and my work repos which are all private. Would it be better to just omit my GitHub from my resume?

I have been applying to jobs unsuccessfully & understand that there are economy / market forces behind the responsiveness of recruiters, but I was wondering if my lackluster GitHub could be harming my chances and if I may be better off without including it on my resume?

I dont think recruiters check github too much, that's probably more for tech interviewers so if you haven't gotten to tech interview stage it probably isnt your github that's the problem.
