Github for developer and for behance designer or?

Guys, freelancers are often asked to show their 'github' and there seems to be nothing for the designer (or I just didn't notice) ....
So I think it's okay to throw off your profile on behance if the tasks are related to design and you need to show something?
Or is it better to draw / make up and show the finished site yourself?

It's just that you will not only draw site layouts, but also logos there are different, forms and others.
Or is there something better for designers than behance ?

You mean nothing? :) Always ask for a portfolio. Someone has it right on the exchange, someone keeps an account on Behance.

If you meant to draw before the contract was concluded with you, then this is a monstrous practice. But you can try, a couple of times is enough for you.

Beehans just generates customers on its own, just like its website

GitHub is generally originally for development and collaboration between developers. For many people, 99% of the code is closed from prying eyes in private repositories, or even on GitLab / BitBucket. Not everything is open source. Having your own OSS projects on GitHub is a plus, but not a portfolio at all.
As for designers, a portfolio is a must. And where and how to store it is the tenth thing:
- a gallery of works on your website
- a gallery of works in a profile on a freelance exchange
- dribbble
- behance
- yes, even instagram or pinterest
- you can even send it in PDF / PPT / Keynote and send it by mail

Watch what you design. If you present websites, you should have your own website with links to your interactive works. If logos, branding, printing - Behance. If illustrations, concepts and art then ArtStation and Pinterest. If you want to show your skill and have suitable skill works in your arsenal, then Dribble, but there is by invitation only.
