@xianc78 @TerminalAutism @PhenomX6 Not sure how it works in the west, but over here employers simply don't care if your hobby projects are of the same kind as your career ones.
I once even made an invoice system just for friends and family in PHP while at the same time working on a NodeJS version at my back then full time job, and even cross-borrowed ideas and code (obviously translated between the 2 languages) between the 2, and the employees and employer even knew about that, no problem at all.

As for Git stuff, I had to show my Git repo as proof that I know what I'm doing when I was a wagie, and I still have to as a freelancer now, but never publicly revealed my real name.
Simply told them that it's me, and nobody asked any extra questions.
