Create and manage a case-sensitive disk-image on OSX. This is great when you have a need to work with case-sensitive repos on a mac.

Thank you, this was exactly what I was looking for.
FYI, I've worked on a further developed version of this script there:

Thanx!
Re https://gist.github.com/dixson3/8360571#file-workspace-sh-L7, see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2001162 on SPARSE vs. SPARSEBUNDLE, the latter may be a better choice.
I was running a setup very similar to this when I upgraded to Mojave I found that mounted disk image's disk performance was so slow as to be unusable. So I made a new image using APFS (Case-sensitive)
instead of Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
and it was much much faster.
For those who end up here, a minimalistic solution here.
