Some scripts that might be of use to macOS admins. Might be related to Munki;
might not.
#### createbootvolfromautonbi.py
A tool to make bootable disk volumes from the output of autonbi. Especially
useful to make bootable disks containing Imagr and the 'SIP-ignoring' kernel,
which allows Imagr to run scripts that affect SIP state, set UAKEL options, and
run the `startosinstall` component, all of which might otherwise require network
booting from a NetInstall-style nbi.
This provides a way to create a bootable external disk that acts like the Netboot environment used by/needed by Imagr.
This command converts the output of Imagr's `make nbi` into a bootable external USB disk:
`sudo ./createbootvolfromautonbi.py --nbi ~/Desktop/10.13.6_Imagr.nbi --volume /Volumes/ExternalDisk`
#### installinstallmacos.py
This script can create disk images containing macOS Installer applications available via Apple's softwareupdate catalogs.

#### createbootvolfromautonbi.py
(This tool has not been tested/updated since before 10.14 shipped. It may not work as expected with current versions of macOS. There are currently no plans to update it.)

#### make_firmwareupdater_pkg.sh
This script was used to extract the firmware updaters from early High Sierra installers and make a standalone installer package that could be used to upgrade Mac firmware before installing High Sierra via imaging.
