Nerd-fonts: Extract the patched fonts into separate repository?
I should not have to clone/download +1GiB repository just to patch one non-free font. No, optical fiber cables aren't available in every location yet on this planet.

Yeah I am sorry about that. :disappointed:
You are correct they really should be in a different/separate repo. :+1:
It is something that has come to my mind several times but I have yet to address the issue (mostly due to a backlog of other issues).
workaround: I know this isn't ideal but you can actually patch any font you want without downloading the entire repo.
The only things you should need are font-patcher and the glyph-source-fonts folder.

Yeah, it is something I know we all need to think more about if we are lucky enough to have decent connections.

Just to be clear I would probably only get around to this if there is enough interest to form a GitHub organization (see #67)

This is going to be at least partially fixed in 1.0.0 release (the size issue is addressed)

I am very tempted to close this but... I still think it is a valid concern/question.
This does depend on #67 though. I will not separate out the fonts from the patcher (and various dependencies) without converting this project to an organization :smile:

It would be amazing if this landed!
