+FreeType's official repository site is
+

+
+from which the 'freetype.git' and 'freetype-demos.git' repositories
+can be cloned in the usual way.
+
+ git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype.git
+ git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype-demos.git
+

+slightly different incantation because the repository names contain
+digit '2' for historical reasons.
+
+ git clone \
+ https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/freetype/freetype2.git \

+ git clone \
+ https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/freetype/freetype2-demos.git \
