Detect Firebase in any GitHub repo

Firebase is Google's app development platform with Firestore, authentication, hosting, cloud functions and analytics.

Why show Firebase on your README

firebase.json and the SDK dependency are detected automatically, so a Firebase-backed app shows its backend at a glance.

How Firebase is detected

Stack Fingerprint reads the repo's full file tree in one GitHub API call and flags Firebase when it finds any of these:

  • Files or folders: firebase.json, .firebaserc, firestore.rules, firestore.indexes.json
  • Dependencies in package.json: firebase, firebase-admin

Firebase README badge

A static badge you can paste anywhere in Markdown:

![Firebase](https://img.shields.io/badge/Firebase-FFCA28?style=for-the-badge&logo=firebase&logoColor=white)

Or let the repo describe itself

Static badges go stale the moment you swap a dependency. A Stack Fingerprint card is generated from the repo, so Firebase (and everything around it) appears or disappears on its own:

Replace OWNER/REPO with your repository, or open the builder to pick a theme and layout.
