This is a straightforward documentation improvement that replaces the basic hdiutil command with create-dmg for generating styled DMGs.

Changes reviewed:

  • Added dependency note: (requires \brew install create-dmg`)` - helpful for users who may not have the tool installed
  • Improved DMG command: The new create-dmg command includes:
    • Window positioning and sizing (--window-pos, --window-size)
    • Icon layout (--icon-size, --icon)
    • Applications folder symlink (--app-drop-link) - this is the standard macOS DMG UX
    • Hidden extension (--hide-extension)

Verification:

  • The create-dmg syntax follows the standard format: options → output file → source folder
  • Icon positioning (180, 180) and app-drop-link (480, 180) are properly offset within the window size (660x400)

No issues found. This produces a more polished, user-friendly DMG with the drag-to-Applications workflow that macOS users expect.
