SWE work example advice /u/AcademicArtificer CSCQ protests reddit

I have 4 years of frontend engineering experience, with some backend mixed in. I’m struggling to get a job like anyone else right now. Employers often want to see your portfolio and your GitHub loaded with projects. I’ve had 3 different roles in engineering and each of them were large, complex applications that are not publicly accessible and the repositories are under lock and key. I’ve been advised to add my code from prior roles to my GitHub, but how am I supposed to do that? Especially when it’s been awhile since I wrote that code and it could very well be completely different now.
