I've worked at a few places where windows was the default machine (including for IT) and macs were only issued when requested or required. A lot of times the IT folks are forced to use a macbook simply because they need one to recover and reset their fleet of macbooks. I've also seen companies forced to ship a whole new mac out to employees in locations without an apple store when a simple reset would have solved the problem. I think this sucks. People should be able to repair their mac without needing to own another one!
Thanks! Yep author here -- you can fully reformat with `restorekit restore` or just restore the firmware (retaining the user disk) with `restorekit revive`. This is what apple calls these two different actions, but I found the naming a bit confusing when I first started looking into this too.
Open to any suggestions on how to make this clearer!

I wondered why I also read this in the readme and then realised -- you're the author!
Good work. This formats, though, not restores, as I understand?
