Quoting from github help:

When you add Jupyter Notebook or IPython Notebook files with a .ipynb extension on GitHub, they will render as static HTML files in your repository. The interactive features of the notebook, such as custom JavaScript plots, will not work in your repository on GitHub.

So, in short, interactive features of Jupyter notebooks like the folium maps won't be rendered when you add them in a github repository.

As a workaround, you can use nbviewer as mentioned here. You just need to put the github link of your notebook in nbviewer and all your maps will be rendered there as they would normally be in a jupyter notebook.
