MacOS Release Dates for installers that balk at newer dates

Various Versions of macOS/OSX will fail on install for various reasons. You can fix them by disconnecting from your wifi or network or resetting your NVRAM. Booting from your USB stick, opening terminal and doing: date ########## where the # nubers are below. Format is: MMDDhhmmYY

MacOS USB Installer Creation terminal commands

Note: These commands all assume that your MacOS installer is in your /Applications folder and that your target USB drive is named Untitled.

For macOS Catalina:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Catalina.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled

For macOS Mojave:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled

For macOS High Sierra:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled

For OS X El Capitan

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app

For OS X Yosemite:

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction

For OS X Mavericks:

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction

Renamed file since I intend to use it for more than just release dates. Also added first new section with terminal commands to create USB installers for various MacOS versions.
