I want to get a job in the field of web development, but everywhere you look, you need a link to a github account, but why do you need it? Want to see participation in open source projects? Or having your own projects? or what?

The github link gives the tech (who will conduct the 2nd interview) quite a lot of information about the candidate's knowledge:
* git
* code quality
* knowledge of open licenses
* knowledge of code testing systems. Only the presence of .travis.yml / .scrutinizer.yml / ... files already indicates that a person knows something in the direction of testing.
* ability to document code (doxygen-like)
* knowledge of coding standards
* knowledge and ability to work with package managers (composer / npm / gem / ....)
* knowledge of systems that implement the dev environment. (Vagrantfile, Dockerfile / ...)
* by the code you can understand what the person worked with AND at what level
