Too many Github repositories bad? (lemmy.ml)

I'm still in my learning phase and I make many small projects as I learn. Is putting all of them on Github a good idea, if I want to put it on my resume in the future, or would having too many repositories on Github a bad thing?

I have 2 GitHub accounts, one under a pseudonym and one under my real name. The pseudonym has probably 200+ repos and that is absolutely not a flex. Most of them are absolute garbage. Tutorials I expanded, projects I started and never fleshed out, documentation for stuff I meant to dive deep into (or sometimes actually did), etc. if a project actually moves along to a place I feel is respectable and worth showing off a bit I’ll clone it to the other account, which has like 10-15 repos maybe

That said I have no clue if this actually matters

The commits on the 2nd account would have a different name and email right?

I think so, I use a different one at least
