I am trying to follow the firebase-electron guide instructions documented in the readme file here:https://firebaseopensource.com/projects/david-asher/electron-firebase/#create-a-firebase-project
But I eventually get to a step which says
It is highly recommended that you add firebase-config.json to your .gitignore file. It contains project-specific information that you do not want to check in with the app, nor should it be packaged when building your app.I was planning on releasing my electron app on the mac / windows / linux stores. And if firebase-electron needs the firebase-config.json file variables, then is there no way to release my electron app with authentication using firebase?
My end goal is to release an electron app with login capabilities that can work on both an electron app and browser. Specifically the YouTube API for uploading videos in node.js which requires a request to be made using the user's auth token (which you can get signing in through google using firebase, but can I release an app with firebase?)
Or maybe is there a better solution / example
