Can firebase admin json file be public on github?

I'm doing a use case for an job application. First time using nodejs + firebase. After setting up firebase I see there is an xxxx-firebase-adminsdk.json file which holds among other things, private_key_id and private_key. This is a bit different from what I am used to from react, where I know sharing the firestore config does not bear any issues.

The case is supposed to be shared in a public repository, but I'm pretty certain it's bad practice to expose this file on a public repository, right? The option would be to send it seperate via email or something instead, for them to be able to test the app?

No never. Anyone can access your database with the xxxx-firebase-adminsdk.json file.
