Prepare USB pendrive and burn MacOS installer
Raw
README.md

Run sudo diskutil list to get a list of drives. On my setup, I got this as part of the output:

/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
  #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
  0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *15.9 GB    disk2
  1:             Windows_FAT_32 ESD-USB                 15.9 GB    disk2s1

Since my USB pendrive is /dev/disk2, I can repartition it as HFS+ like so:

sudo diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk2 GPT hfs+ InstallMojave "100%"

From there, I can burn the Mojave installer to it (assuming it's present under /Applications):

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