Lookup ipsw restore file links by device and iOS version and download all versions
Setup: chmod +x ipswget.sh move ipswget.sh to your PATH or your firmware storage folder.
When I am using Apple Configurator 2, I manage firmware in the following location since AC2 should be able to see it cached there.
~/Library/Group\ Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Firmware/
I also symlink it to an easier filesystem location for regular use. ie: ls -s ~/Library/Group\ Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Firmware/ /Users/Shared/acFirmware/
USAGE: Run ipswget without any inputs to view the usage info.
