googlefonts__description__git_url

Does DESCRIPTION file contain a upstream Git repo URL?

googlefonts/description/git_url

• Applies to: DESC
• Fontspector can hotfix?: no
• Fontspector can fix sources?: no

Rationale

The contents of the DESCRIPTION.en-us.html file are displayed on the Google Fonts website in the about section of each font family specimen page.

Since all of the Google Fonts collection is composed of libre-licensed fonts, this check enforces a policy that there must be a hypertext link in that page directing users to the repository where the font project files are made available.

Such hosting is typically done on sites like Github, Gitlab, GNU Savannah or any other git-based version control service.
