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.

If you're getting the error:
Error: homebrew/cask-fonts was deprecated. This tap is now empty and all its contents were either deleted or migrated
When running brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts, it's because in May 16, 2024 the fonts previously available in homebrew/cask-fonts have been moved to the main homebrew/cask repository. So you can just directly install any fonts you want without tapping.

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

@snacky101 Thanks a lot !! I was looking for this. (No need to tap anymore in August 2024)

Yes, as of Aug 2024, no need to tap anymore. Installing a particular font, is as simple as
brew install --cask font-ubuntu-nerd-font

You don't even need --cask.

brew install font-ubuntu-nerd-font works.
