rcm manages configuration files and dotfiles through a command-line suite.
About rcm
rcm is a command-line suite for managing dotfiles, the configuration files that many Unix-like programs read from the home directory. It is built around a separate dotfiles directory: the tools install dotfiles from that directory into their target locations, add existing files to it, and show where each file would be linked. The main program, rcup, installs and updates dotfiles and supports tags, host-specific files, and multiple source directories. The other programs are rcdn, which performs the opposite of rcup, mkrc, which adds a dotfile to the dotfiles directory, and lsrc, which lists dotfiles and their link targets. The suite is configured through an rcrc file documented in rcrc(5).
The project is open source under a BSD license and is maintained and funded by thoughtbot, inc. It is listed for Linux and macOS, and the README gives installation commands for many distributions, Homebrew, MacPorts, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD, as well as a source build using GNU autotools.
