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?

Share the code that can be edited.

Release .ttf, .wotf or .otf in form of releases for people to download them. Or dont, and let users do that themselves.

Make sure to include screenshots haha.
