So I found a command that lets me create dock entries via terminal. This was working fine on El Capitan. But not with Sierra.

Any ideas how this can be done with Sierra? Thank you.

This is sample command that works with El Capitan:

Code: 
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add "<dict><key>tile-data</key><dict><key>file-data</key><dict><key>_CFURLString</key><string>/Applications/VLC.app</string><key>_CFURLStringType</key><integer>0</integer></dict></dict></dict>"
