[Bug] 'CascadiaMono' directory in master branch seems to be missing fonts

[tur1ngb0x]

Requirements

• I have searched the issues for my issue and found nothing related or helpful
• I have searched the FAQ for help
• I have checked the Wiki for help

Experienced Behavior

I made a bash script to download and install nerd-fonts from GitHub repository. After picking 'CascadiaMono', the git clone directory is empty. I am able to install other fonts without any issues.

https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts/CascadiaMono

Expected Behavior

CascadiaMono folder should contain ttf or otf font files.

Example Symbols or Text

nerdfont.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

usage()
{
	cat << EOF

Description:

if [[ "${#}" -eq 0 ]]; then
	usage
	exit
fi

Already since several releases the in-repo release has been sunset and hast stopped for new fonts and will stop for old fonts.
Please use the release artefacts instead, i.e.

https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest

A look into the documentation (see images below)

https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts?tab=readme-ov-file#option-6-install-script
https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/v3.2.1?tab=readme-ov-file#important-notices
https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts/CascadiaMono

There is a script in our script dir that helps download the release artefacts from a bash shell (fetch-archives.sh)

But I will change the documentation to make this even more clear, thank you.

Thanks, will use https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest/download/$FontName.zip from now on.
