Yes, absolutely.
You should have confidence in the correctness of your code if you are publishing.
If your code is a shitshow, why do you trust it? Decent code is to your own advantage even if no one else ever looks at it.
In the best case, it’s possible to build a community around your code, to wide benefit and your career benefit. I’ve seen this with several peers and students.
As a hiring manager, it’s very nice indeed to read a paper and scan the code of an fresh grad applicant.
My lab’s approach is to put the repo in public and put the hash of the relevant commit in the paper. Then you can keep developing there but readers can be confident they can get the exact code used to justify the claims in the paper.
An exception is if you plan to make a company around your IP. You should estimate how likely this is to happen before defaulting to this.
