The following solution thanks to @hackerzgz & @snacky101 will install all nerd fonts;

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew search '/font-.*-nerd-font/' | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs -I{} brew install --cask {} || true

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts

for font in "${fonts_list[@]}"
do
  brew install --cask "$font"
done
exit

@frame45 Thanks for that. It might be worth to contribute this as a formula instead to https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts to enable a bundle, so you can install all of them by simply running:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts && brew install --cask font-nerd-fonts

Simply, How about this way?

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew search '/font-.*-nerd-font/' | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs brew install --cask

@snacky101 thanks! worked like a charm.

Simply, How about this way?

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew search '/font-.*-nerd-font/' | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs brew install --cask

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew search '/font-.*-nerd-font/' | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs -I{} brew install --cask {} || true

Always return true can skip the: Error: It seems there is already a Font at 'xxx' 😊

@hackerzgz thank you for feedback.
I didn't take into account error case during install 👍

So cool, thanks guys !

Thanks a lot for the script! Love you all.

doing an upgrade once you've installed all of these is the pits... i do wish it were bundled a bit better. Be warned if you install the bulk in a loop or via a script

Thank you! This rocks! 💣

Thoughts about adding this tap to Homebrew's main repo? I'd say nerd fonts are common enough.

I think that is a great idea.

agreed. would be great to have these as part of the main repo.
