nerd-fonts-mirror/bin/scripts

Contents

Note: Usually you need to call the scripts in this directory while actually being in this directory (i.e. pwd = .../nerd-fonts/bin/scripts).

Shell scripts here require a halfway recent version of bash, i.e. at least version 4 which came out in 2009.
MacOS usually has a bash version 3; you can install a current version via Homebrew.
