Recruiter sent me a GitHub repo to run as part of the interview, is this normal?

I got a message on LinkedIn from someone saying they’re hiring a smart contract dev for a DeFi project. Pay looked good, call was short, and now they’ve sent me a repo and want me to clone it, run it locally and fix a bug before tomorrow.

The project looks legit at first glance but something feels off. They kept pushing me to run it today. Has anyone else gotten this kind of “test”? Should I just do it?
