PiShrink-macOS#

This is a port of PiShrink bash script for Linux to run under macOS.

PiShrink https://github.com/Drewsif/PiShrink is a bash script that automatically shrinks a pi image that will then resize to the max size of the SD card on boot. This will make putting the image back onto the SD card faster and the shrunk images will compress better.

Besides the original script it uses a few utils for the ext2/3/4 filesystem. All of these tools can be easily build by running the provided helper scripts in this repository. For mor information see below.

Usage

sudo pishrink.sh imagefile.img [newimagefile.img]

If you specify the newimagefile.img parameter, the script will make a copy of imagefile.img and work off that. You will need enough space to make a full copy of the image to use that option.

Prerequisites

If you are trying to shrink a NOOBS image it will likely fail. This is due to NOOBS paritioning being significantly different than Raspian's. Hopefully PiShrink will be able to support NOOBS in the near future.

Installation

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Drewsif/PiShrink/master/pishrink.sh
chmod +x pishrink.sh
sudo mv pishrink.sh /usr/local/bin

Example

[user@localhost PiShrink]$ sudo pishrink.sh pi.img
