There is, but it is not clear to me which variant is the "master" font, is it the OTF? https://github.com/mozilla/Fira

Nice, but I didn't mean putting the binary files on git. It's not easy to see changes since the file format is not text based.

Yeah it'd be nice if they used something like UFO ( http://unifiedfontobject.org/), or even Fontforge's SFD. It should be possible to take each binary OTF, export it with fontforge, and create a "mirror" repository where you can see the changes in a more human-readable format.
