Bitter Pro Font from git repo (hopefully a simple request)

Could somebody make an AUR package for this font:

https://github.com/solmatas/BitterPro

It's a really nice font designed for on-screen reading, and highly regarded as one of the best in this category.

Could you just use the PKGBUILD of otf-bitter or other font packages in AUR after editing the names?

I was after the git version, but have noticed that the built .otf are actually already there.

Out of interest, how would i generate a pkgbuild from a git repo that has a requirements.txt?

requirements.txt in https://github.com/solmatas/BitterPro lists packages I presume needed to generate the fonts.  That would help with the depends / makedepends entries of the PKGBUILD.
The rest of the PKGBUILD can not be derived from just that information.  See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/otf-ibm-plex-git/ for a OTF font installed from a git repo.
