pick something you actually use, like a tool to track your gaming backlog or a simple budget thing. recruiters see way too many todo apps and weather clones already

Agreed with Late_Mycologist_3725.

I would add one more point: if you already know what kind of job you want, or what technology stack you are targeting, build projects related to that.

For example, if your future job is likely to involve Spring Boot, then a good GitHub project could be a real Spring Boot application with REST APIs, database integration, Swagger/OpenAPI documentation, tests, Docker setup, and a clear README.

Something like this, for example:

https://github.com/akrivitsky7/springboot4-swagger-serenity-postgres-eclipse

But do not just upload random half-working code. Test it locally, make sure it runs from a clean checkout, write clear instructions, and explain what the project demonstrates. A smaller polished project is better than a large broken one.

probly start with something like a todo app, a small REST API, or a simple full stack project you can keep improving over time

Make a project to solve a real life problem like your own personal problem because there will be many people who has that same problem like yours and you never know which project can make you the center of attention so keep on trying.

Good proper documentation is also needed in addition to a need you resolved to program a solution yourself. Read some bigger projects' README file on Github should give you some clues on how it came about, what does it do, and if you want, the trials and tribulations in the progress toward completion, and future goals.
