Counts unlabeled, assigned, unassigned, milestoned, demilestoned, locked, unlocked over the last 12 months. These are issue and pull request events that require triage or write permission. Commits and code review are not counted. labeled and renamed are excluded because GitHub issue forms record the issue author as the actor. Figures from October 11, 2026. This count is not comparable across projects: each project's automation decides which of these events a person emits. How this is counted.

How this project is maintained

About 3% of issues opened in the past year have never received a reply. 90% of open issues come from outside the core team, so the backlog reflects real-world use rather than internal planning. Work labelled "⚠ bug" is answered fastest, typically in under an hour, while "❲+❳ add glyph to core set" waits about 5 days. 83% of issues opened in the past year have been closed, leaving a working backlog. Three people close 91% of everything that gets resolved.

Detailed Description

Nerd Fonts is a font patcher and collection that combines popular open-source fonts with thousands of glyphs from icon libraries.

The project solves the problem of terminal and editor environments lacking consistent icon support across different applications and themes. It works by taking established fonts like Hack and Source Code Pro and patching them to include glyphs from multiple icon collections including Font Awesome, Material Design Icons, and Octicons. This allows developers to use a single font that provides both readable monospace characters and a comprehensive set of icons, eliminating the need to switch fonts or use workarounds for icon rendering in terminals, status lines, and code editors.

Developers should adopt Nerd Fonts if they work in terminal-heavy environments, use powerline-based status lines, or need consistent icon rendering across multiple tools. The project suits anyone building custom terminal configurations, shell prompts, or status bar setups where icon support matters. The collection includes pre-patched versions of popular programming fonts, so users can download ready-to-use fonts without running the patcher themselves, though the patcher tool is available for those who want to patch additional fonts or customize the glyph selection.

The project maintains an active collection of pre-patched fonts and glyph sets, with ongoing updates to support new icon libraries and font additions. The patcher itself is actively refined to handle edge cases and improve compatibility across different font formats. Documentation and examples receive regular attention to help users understand font installation and configuration across different operating systems and applications.
