Nerd Fonts is a project that patches developer targeted fonts with a high number of glyphs (icons). Specifically to add a high number of extra glyphs from popular 'iconic fonts' such as Font Awesome, Devicons, Octicons, and others.
The following Sankey flow diagram shows the current glyph sets included:
Important Notices
masterbranch file paths are not considered stable. Verify your repository URI references- cloning this repository is not recommended (due to Repo size) unless you are going to be contributing to development

Additional Info
TL;DR
Nerd Fonts takes popular programming fonts and adds a bunch of Glyphs. There is also a font patcher available if your desired font isn't already patched. For more high level information see the wiki. If you are looking for the Vim plugin see VimDevIcons ➶.

Font Installation
Option 1: Release Archive Download
Best option if you want an archive or complete font family of variations (Bold, Italic, etc.).
Fonts are available for download as packages in the latest release
A nice overview is on the Nerd Font site (but misses the more compact xv archives).
If you want download the latest release of a given font inside a script you can use (replace "JetBrainsMono" with your font):
curl -OL https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest/download/JetBrainsMono.tar.xz
Option 2: Homebrew Fonts
Best option if on macOS and want to use Homebrew.
All fonts are available via Homebrew Cask Fonts on macOS (OS X)
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew install font-hack-nerd-font
Option 3: Unofficial Chocolatey or Scoop Repositories
Option for Windows and wanting to use Chocolatey or Scoop.
Chocolatey users can download fonts published to the Chocolatey Community Repository (CCR):
choco install nerd-fonts-hack
Scoop users can download fonts using the Scoop bucket for Nerd Fonts:
scoop bucket add nerd-fonts
scoop install Hack-NF
Option 4: Arch Extra Repository
Option for Arch Linux and wanting to use Extra packages.
Most fonts are available via Arch Extra packages. Some special packages are in AUR.
Option 5: Ad Hoc Curl Download
Option if you want to use the
curlcommand or for use in scripts.
Note: Will not work to get newer fonts as they are not inside the repo anymore.
Linux
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts
cd ~/.local/share/fonts && curl -fLO https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/HEAD/patched-fonts/DroidSansMono/DroidSansMNerdFont-Regular.otf
Note: deprecated alternative paths: ~/.fonts
macOS (OS X)
cd ~/Library/Fonts && curl -fLO https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/HEAD/patched-fonts/DroidSansMono/DroidSansMNerdFont-Regular.otf
Option 6: Install Script
Best option if you want to automate installing or for use in scripts.
Note: Requires (shallow) cloning the repo as of now :-( Note: Will not work to get newer fonts as they are not inside the repo anymore.
All fonts:
- Installs all the patched Fonts (Warning: This is a lot of Fonts adding up to a large size)
./install.sh
or, in Powershell (Windows only):
./install.ps1
Single font:
- Installs a single Font of your choice
./install.sh <FontName>
./install.sh Hack
./install.sh HeavyData
or, in Powershell (Windows only):
./install.ps1 <FontName>
./install.ps1 Hack
./install.ps1 HeavyData
./install.ps1 FiraCode, Hack
./install.ps1 DejaVuSansMono -WhatIf
Option 7: Clone the Repo
Best option for full control, all or some of the fonts, or contributing to development.
Note: Will not work to get newer fonts as they are not inside the repo anymore.
A full clone of this repository is not required nor efficient (mostly due to Repository size) if you are simply only interested in a limited set of fonts.
If you do want to clone the entire repo be sure to shallow clone:
git clone --depth 1
Even if you develop you probably do not need the old versions of the font files. With this command you have all commits but not all the old data - it will be loaded only if you check out old binaries (or do a blame):
git clone --filter=blob:none git@github.com:ryanoasis/nerd-fonts
If you want to clone just a sub-directory, use git sparse-checkout.
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse git@github.com:ryanoasis/nerd-fonts
cd nerd-fonts
git sparse-checkout add patched-fonts/JetBrainsMono
Option 8: Patch Your Own Font
The option for patching your own font or fully customizing the patched font.
Use the provided Python command line script to generate a patched font from your own font to get the extra new glyphs
See: Font Patcher for usage
- use this option if you do not want to use one of the fonts provided
- you will still need to copy the generated font to the correct font directory on your system
font-patcher
Patching the font of your own choosing:
-
Use the script
- Download script and its helper files as archive and extract
- Just downloading the
font-patcherscript is not enough. - Requires: Fontforge, Python 3,
python-fontforgeandargparsepackages- Fontforge can be installed as package
- or on OSX via
brew install fontforge - or as AppImage
- Usage, recommended:
fontforge -script font-patcher PATH_TO_FONT- Usage, direct (more convenient call, if it works for you):
./font-patcher PATH_TO_FONT-
Usage, with Fontforge AppImage
Note:
chmod u+xthe AppImage after download. All supplied paths need to be absolute and an explicit output path is required! If everything is located in the same directory, you can use the$PWDshorthand.
./FontForge.AppImage -script $PWD/font-patcher $PWD/BaseFont.ttf -out /tmp -
Use docker
- Default parallel tasks
docker run --rm -v /path/to/fonts:/in:Z -v /path/for/output:/out:Z nerdfonts/patcher [OPTIONS]- Single process (slow)
docker run --rm -v /path/to/fonts:/in:Z -v /path/for/output:/out:Z -e "PN=1" nerdfonts/patcher [OPTIONS]- Specify the parallel tasks number to 10
docker run --rm -v /path/to/fonts:/in:Z -v /path/for/output:/out:Z -e "PN=10" nerdfonts/patcher [OPTIONS]
Note
The resulting font's family (aka font name) will be set to the original family after CamelCasing, removing whitespace and appending
Nerd Font. For example,iosevka termwould becomeIosevkaTerm Nerd Font.

Gotta Patch 'em All Font Patcher!
-
for Contributor or Developer use
-
re-patches all fonts in the unpatched directory:
./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh -
can optionally limit to specific font name pattern:
./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh Hermit -
or to specific directory name start:
./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh /Heavy
Full options:
Usage: ./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher!.sh [OPTION] [FILTER]
OPTION:
-c, --checkfont Create the font(s) in check-fonts/ instead
-t, --keeptime Try to preserve timestamp of previously patched
font in patched-fonts/ directory
-v, --verbose Show more information when running
-i, --info Rebuild JUST the readmes
-j, --jobs Run up to 8 patch processes in parallel
-h, --help Show this help
FILTER:
The filter argument to this script is a filter for the fonts to patch.
The filter is a regex (glob * is expressed as [^/]*, see `man 7 glob`)
All font files that start with that filter (and are ttf, otf, or sfd files) will
be processed only.
Example ./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh "iosevka"
Process all font files that start with "iosevka"
If the argument starts with a '/' all font files in a directory that matches
the filter are processed only.
Example ./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh "/iosevka"
Process all font files that are in directory "iosevka"
