ventoy-mac

This is a native macOS port of the official Ventoy2Disk ventoy installer cli & gui.

Ventoy allows you to turn a USB into a multi-iso bootable disk. This allows you to carry a single usb drive and use it for your files as well as the occasional OS install.

I daily drive a mac, and occationaly I need to reformat my daily driver usb drive. It's always frustrating to have to pull out my linux or windows box to reformat my drive to Ventoy once I'm done. I hope this is useful to you too!

Many thanks to longpanda for their amazing software.
