dock-spacer

This is a wrapper for the defaults command defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type"="spacer-tile";}' and others. Those commands will add a new spacer (and more, read the source for more info) to the OS X dock.

This is tested on Yosemite - High Sierra, should be working for all versions from 10.5 and newer.

git clone https://github.com/Haroenv/dock-spacer.git
