[why]
For some unknown reason some files have the execute right bit set in
git. That is neither needed nor recommended.
The *.cfg files are pulled in with `source`, so they do not need to be
executable.
[note]
Example command to check
find . -perm /111 -type f

Source Code Pro
Source Code Pro is a set of OpenType fonts that have been designed to work well in user interface (UI) environments. In addition to a functional OpenType font, this open source project provides all of the source files that were used to build this OpenType font by using the AFDKO makeotf tool.

Why Sauce and not Source?
What's in a name? The reason for the name change is to comply with the SIL Open Font License (OFL), in particular the Reserved Font Name mechanism
Some fonts have parts of their name "reserved" per the Reserved Font Name mechanism:
No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as presented to the users.
- The main goals seem to be to:
Avoid collisions,Protect authors,Minimize support, andEncourage derivatives
See the Reserved Font Name section for additional information
Which font?
TL;DR
- Pick your font family and then select from the
'complete'directory.- If you are on Windows pick a font with the
'Windows Compatible'suffix.- This includes specific tweaks to ensure the font works on Windows, in particular monospace identification and font name length limitations
- If you are limited to monospaced fonts (because of your terminal, etc) then pick a font with the
'Mono'suffix. - If you want to have bigger icons (usually around 1.5 normal letters wide) pick a font without
'Mono'suffix. Most terminals support this, but ymmv.
- If you are on Windows pick a font with the
Ligatures
Ligatures are generally preserved in the patched fonts.
Nerd Fonts v2.0.0 had no ligatures in the Nerd Font Mono fonts, this has been dropped with v2.1.0.
If you have a ligature-aware terminal and don't want ligatures you can (usually) disable them in the terminal settings.
Explanation
Once you narrow down your font choice of family (Droid Sans, Inconsolata, etc) and style (bold, italic, etc) you have 2 main choices:
Option 1: Download already patched font
- For a stable version download a font package from the release page
- Or download the development version from the
completefolder here
Option 2: Patch your own font
- patch your own variations with the various options provided by the font patcher (see each font's readme for full list of combinations available)
- This is the option you want if the font you use is not already included or you want maximum control of what's included
- This contains a list of all permutations of the various glyphs. E.g. You want the font with only Octicons or you want the font with just Font Awesome and Devicons.
