Hosting projects on Github: ban on storing font binaries #148

Description

@m4rc1e

This topic comes up every year in discussions so it is worthy of an issue. It can be added to https://googlefonts.github.io/gf-guide/hosting#commits-manage-progress-and-track-changes

Several of us believe we shouldn't be storing font binaries in the repo for the following reasons:

  • The binaries may have been built from earlier commits or not the correct build chain
  • They take up a lot of space
  • They're not diffable.

Font binaries should be stored in tagged releases instead.
