Open questions

I had Apple Configurator 2 already installed - is this mandatory or used at all?
Is there a better/more trustworthy source for obtaining the ipsw file than https://mrmacintosh.com/apple-silicon-m1-full-macos-restore-ipsw-firmware-files-database/. I've seen that the site uses Apple CDN, so I'm assuming it's fine. However, I could also compile a list for the readme which provides this information without the need to reference 3rd party sites.

Would love to make adjustements to the PR - just let me know 👍🏻

Is there a better/more trustworthy source for obtaining the ipsw file That site is probably fine, the other one might be ipsw.me. Officially Apple vend this but it's not really user facing 😅
