Hello, for a few days I have been looking at how to make a git repository to store a free font so that everyone can use it, modify it and redistribute it, the thing is that many have different ways of distributing the source code, and it is not very clear how. Do it in a way that is similar to an open source program. The typography is being made with fontforge, what would be the most optimal way to distribute this font to make it open source?

Ok, thanks for the clarification, I needed it, now with everything clarified, I can make a description of the directory. There are 3 types of folders, images to show the fonts in images, fonts for the ttf and otf binaries and finally sources for the sfd files, which would be the source code of the fonts, outside those 3 folders, there would be Makefile, README and the license. Thanks for the help, now you can make the directory in an organized way
