Summary
This PR introduces several improvements and quality-of-life changes to the SSH Ramdisk Script, focusing on usability, offline functionality, and documentation clarity.
Key Improvements
Offline IPSW Support
The script can now create ramdisks using locally stored IPSW files, removing the dependency on online IPSW fetches and making the workflow more reliable in low-connectivity environments.
Ramdisk File Caching
After creation, ramdisk components are automatically saved to:
./ramdisk/$model_$versionThis makes rebuilding or reusing ramdisks significantly faster.
Updated Documentation / README
Added shields/badges for visibility.
Added a dedicated “About this Fork” section explaining differences from the upstream version.
Added proper credit for remote-zip-viewer.py (from the
remote-zip-downloaderproject).Removed self-credit to keep the credits section clean and objective.
Compatibility & Testing Notes
While basic functionality works, I could not verify full compatibility with newer macOS versions due to hardware limitations. Additional testing from maintainers or contributors on modern macOS releases would be helpful.
Additional Notes
Thanks for reviewing this PR!
